Basics of Money Management and Wealth Building

Idea Submission for The People's Money:
How to manage your money and build wealth
What is the problem your idea aims to address?
Many New Yorkers—especially youth, working families, and underserved communities—lack access to practical financial education. Without basic knowledge of money management, budgeting, credit, and wealth-building strategies, people often fall into cycles of debt, limited savings, and missed opportunities for financial growth. This lack of financial literacy contributes to long-term economic instability, reduced homeownership, and financial stress that affects overall community well-being. Our idea addresses this gap by providing engaging, easy-to-understand workshops and tools that empower participants to take control of their finances, make informed decisions, and build generational wealth.
