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.
