MyMoney.gov is a U.S. government website designed to provide financial education resources for all Americans. The website combines material from 20 federal agencies, collectively called Financial Literacy & Education Commission Member Agencies. It offers in-depth information on a wide variety of subjects in a reasonably easy-to-follow format. The advantage of having all information available in one place will be of great help to many people.

General topics are divided in this way:

• Budgeting & Taxes
• Credit
• Financial Planning
• Home Ownership Resources
• Kids
• Paying for Education
• Privacy, Fraud & Scams
• Responding To Life Events
• Retirement Planning
• Saving & Investing
• Starting a Small Business

There is also a “What’s New” section on the right hand side of the home page providing a great place to start for specific questions or problems.
