Arkansas Gets a Free Money-Smart Boost

Arkansas just got a cool new tool to help people manage their cash. It's an online platform that teaches money basics for free. The state's Financial Education Commission made this happen. The platform is run by a company called Enrich. It has stuff like budgeting tools, retirement planning, and articles about real-life money matters. People can learn at their own speed. The goal is to help folks feel more in control of their finances. This project wouldn't have been possible without some help. The Walmart Foundation gave a $15, 000 grant. The Cornerstone Foundation chipped in with $10, 000. That's a total of $25, 000 to make this happen.Anyone in Arkansas can hop online and create a free account. From there, they can dive into lessons, articles, and interactive tools. It's all about making money stuff less scary and more understandable. The state treasurer, John Thurston, is pretty happy about this. He thinks every Arkansan should have access to good financial info. This platform brings that info right to people's screens. So, if you're in Arkansas and want to get smarter about money, check it out. It's free and could really help you out.
