Financial Information Sources Scope of Education and Marketing Activities

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the CFPB) looked at the information sources consumers are exposed to when they make financial decisions. Empowering consumers to make the financial decisions that will help them meet their own life goals is a critical part of the mission of the CFPB. This book discusses a comparison of spending on financial education and financial marketing, and an overlap of programs that suggest there may be opportunities for consolidation.
