Top ten reasons why April is Financial Literacy Month

April April has been declared Financial Literacy Month. Because today is April 1, I thought we could start off with a list of the reasons why April has been dedicated to financial literacy, following the example of other famous top ten lists.

 

Top ten reasons why April is Financial Literacy Month:

1. Because financial literacy is important!
2. Because what else would you rather do in April?
3. Because years, centuries, and millennia were already taken.
4. Because April was not dedicated to another topic yet.
5. Because a week would not have been enough.
6. Because choosing a financial literacy day would have been really difficult (which one out of 365?).
7. Because the spring- with good weather and longer days- is when we are inclined to start new things.
8. Because financial literacy can blossom like a spring flower.
9. Because in April we have to pay taxes and we can take some comfort in thinking of something worse than taxes: the statistics about financial illiteracy!
10. If we dedicate a month to financial literacy, we do not have to do anything else for it.
