We all know that financial education is important but few of us actually know where to get the knowledge needed to be financially literate. The National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE) is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) foundation dedicated to helping individuals acquire the information and gain the skills necessary to take control of their personal finances.
