First Farmers teaching better money habits

With April being Financial Literacy Month, First Farmers Bank & Trust is proud to provide a hands-on and easy-to-learn program to educate the community on how to improve their financial skills.

Everyone loves to spend money, but not everyone knows how to budget their money or save for their future. That’s why First Farmers Bank & Trust is offering the opportunity to help people learn how to take charge of their finances through financial literacy.

What is financial literacy? It’s a key skill that can help you make better decisions and improve your financial wellness. Whether you’re a teenager saving for that first car, an adult planning for retirement or starting a business, financial literacy is a perfect opportunity to bring awareness of the importance of financial education to those who may not be money-savvy.

This program is free and covers a wide range of important topics such as: Saving for the Future; Managing your Money; Building and Repairing your Credit; Home Ownership 101; Banking Basics; Fraud Protection; Retirement Planning or College Planning.

First Farmers commitment to their community is to help them thrive financially and that starts with financial education. They believe that improved financial knowledge will help build stronger relationships and a better future.
