Now that economic conditions are working even more against them, this month's National Financial Literacy Month comes along at the perfect time.

MMI had laid out 30 steps (one for each day this month) on the path to financial wellness. My apologies for not getting this out two weeks late! But surely, it's better late than never, and there's no reason you can't share these tips with employees into May and beyond.
