Building financial literacy
If you’re doing your taxes and feeling like you need to get a better handle on your personal finances, there’s help available from the State of Illinois.
The Illinois Financial Wellness Hub is an online resource for adults and teens, with useful information on purchasing a home, planning for retirement, understanding Social Security benefits, and building an emergency fund.
The hub also offers free access to Certified Personal Finance Coaches. You can create a secure and free account, complete a financial checkup, and get personalized, expert recommendations.
