Money Smart Week (April 15-21, 2025) is the perfect opportunity to boost your financial knowledge and take control of your savings. This national initiative was created to help individuals and families make informed financial decisions, from budgeting and investing to understanding credit and preparing for the future. At Stone Bank, we’re here to support you on your financial journey with savings solutions designed to help your money grow.
What is Money Smart Week?
Money Smart Week is an annual financial education campaign that provides resources, tools, and guidance to help people navigate personal finance. Originally launched in 2002 by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, this week has since expanded nationwide, with organizations across the country offering workshops, webinars, and events focused on financial literacy.
No matter your stage in life, Money Smart Week is a time to reflect on your financial habits and set goals for a brighter future. Whether you’re a student learning about student loans, a young professional planning for major expenses, or a retiree looking to manage your savings, this week is an opportunity to gain valuable financial insights.
Why Saving Matters
Saving is a fundamental part of financial well-being. Without a solid savings plan, unexpected expenses or economic downturns can create unnecessary stress. However, with a well-structured savings account, you can build financial security and work toward achieving your goals. That’s where Stone Bank comes in.
