Bill > HRes908

This resolution supports the designation of October 2025 as "National Financial Planning Month" in recognition of the critical importance of financial literacy and planning for Americans. The resolution highlights significant challenges facing Americans, including that 89 percent are concerned about the cost of living, 40 percent have less than $400 in emergency savings, and financial literacy remains low, with fewer than half of adults correctly answering financial literacy questions. The resolution emphasizes that financial planning is a collaborative process essential to economic well-being and stability, and notes that individuals working with Certified Financial Planner (CFP) professionals are more likely to feel financially prepared and live comfortably. The House of Representatives supports this designation to increase public awareness about financial planning and urges Americans to participate in activities such as public seminars on budgeting and investing, developing financial education curricula, promoting access to financial planning services, improving financial literacy across all ages, and supporting pro bono financial planning initiatives to help underserved and economically vulnerable individuals and families.
