Financial education: a tool to manage income and expenses and plan for the future, protecting yourself from risks

We all need to manage our income and expenses with serenity. Someone is paying the installments of a mortgage or loan, and needs to understand what impact this has on their family's life. We must all protect ourselves from major risks, which we often do not see but which can have strong impacts. Many of us want to understand when we will be able to retire, and in general how to use our savings to plan for the future.

Financial education is not a course that helps us understand how to seize market opportunities, nor a technique to become richer, but a tool that helps us save more and methodically, protect ourselves from life's risks, use the resources to plan ahead for the future we desire. It is a welfare tool, because it helps citizens feel better and defend themselves from fragility, creating the conditions for solid and lasting well-being. It is a tool for awareness, because it helps us put our resources in order and plan the future, despite economic uncertainties.
