The first step in building a plan to reach a financial goal is understanding what's important to you and where you are today. Answer these questions to gauge how well you know your current financial situation.

True or false?

How did you do?

If you were able to answer "true" to most questions – congrats! You're in tune with your current financial situation, but don't slow down now. Try one of the courses below to advance your financial knowledge.

Mostly "false"? You're in the right place and we can help. For any statements you marked false, make a commitment to learning the answers. Get started today by trying the Debt management or Family conversations about money courses below.

Armed with this knowledge, you can work with an Edward Jones financial advisor to build a better strategy for getting where you want to go.

Hi everyone, David Gunn here to share some great news about our Financial Fitness Program, which is a big part of our Community Impact efforts at Edward Jones. 

We’re proud to be sparking financial curiosity in more than 100 high schools across five provinces—Ontario, BC, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Manitoba. More than 3700 students in 138 schools across Canada have completed the training since the program launched in 2023.  

Through real-world simulations in the classroom, students are learning the essentials of investing, navigating global markets, and building a solid foundation in personal finance. 

Let’s face it—the ups and downs of financial markets can seem intimidating, but don’t have to be when you have the right knowledge and tools. And the best part? It’s working! Our data from the financial fitness program shows confidence in financial decision-making has jumped from 61% to 78% among students who’ve taken the course. 

Our goal is simple: plant the seeds of financial smarts early on…so young people can grow into savvy financial planners for their families in the future. And it doesn’t stop there! We’re expanding this impact even further. 

We now offer a Financial Fitness Program for Canadians of all ages, designed to equip everyone with the money management skills they need to make smart financial decisions.  

This program includes four interactive online modules covering debt management, homebuying, taxes, and how to have family conversations about money. 

Finance can be a learning curve for all ages, but we’re here to help smooth that curve with the tools and guidance you need to make informed decisions. 

Thanks for watching, and if you’re interested in learning more about our financial fitness programs go to edwardjones.ca. 

At Edward Jones, we believe in the power of financial knowledge.

It's never too early to start understanding important financial topics, such as smart money management and how to save for big goals like education.

That's why in 2023 to help increase the financial confidence of high school students, Edward Jones Canada piloted a program in 69 schools across 5 Canadian provinces: British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario.

The program is called Financial Fitness.

Like physical fitness which requires exercise and a balanced diet, Financial Fitness is designed to equip the young generation of Canadians to flex their financial knowledge and make sound budgeting decisions throughout their life supported by a solid financial foundation. Financial Fitness will guide conversations about money and help students better understand how to work toward achieving financial resilience.

High school teachers who sign up for the program receive a complimentary digital financial education course. The course provides students with a deeper understanding of the fundamentals of investing, the global marketplace, and foundational financial concepts.
