Tomorrow is the official start of Money Smart Week, a program started by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago in 2002. This year, it runs from April 20 to 27 and includes events throughout the Chicago area at libraries, schools, and businesses.
The goal is to teach people how to manage their money. We here at Chicago on the Cheap are passionate about that, so we are one of many partner organizations in the Chicago area.
Over the next week, we’ll be running posts about different Money Smart Week activities and about money. There’s no way we can get all of the events here, though, so check out the Money Smart Week website for more information and to search for different activities near you.
