The Senate designates April 2025 as Financial Literacy Month, pointing to data showing that 5.6 million American households are still "unbanked" (no bank account at all) and 19 million more are "underbanked." The resolution notes that outstanding household debt has risen by nearly $3.9 trillion since 2019 and that student loan balances now exceed $1.6 trillion. It highlights the growing number of states — 27 so far — that require a personal finance course for high school graduation, and calls for more programs to help Americans make informed financial decisions.
