Today I’ll be sharing a FREE educational resource which is available from the U.S. Financial Literacy and Education Commission: The My Money Tool Kit.

I stumbled across this tool kit last weekend and thought that it would be worthy topic to share with our readers here as a “Mind Over Money” topic.
