Money Smart Colorado Week
April 21 - April 28, 2012 

Money Smart Colorado is scheduled for April 21 - April 28, 2012.  Money Smart Week is a public awareness campaign designed to help consumers better manage their personal finances.  This is achieved through the collaboration and coordinated effort of organizations across the state including businesses, financial institutions, schools, libraries, not-for-profits, government agencies and the media.  These groups come together once a year to stress the importance of financial literacy, inform consumers where they can get help, and provide free educational seminars and activities throughout the week.  Programming is offered to all demographics and income levels and covers all facets of personal finance from establishing a budget to first time home buying to estate planning.
