About S.A.F.E.
Who We Are
At S.A.F.E., our mission is to provide financial education as a public service. Our vision is a nation where all individuals have access to financial education so that they can make smart choices based on their current economic situation.We believe creating an informed, knowledgeable population that understands the principles of finance and strategic investing not only helps those individuals control the health and safety of their own financial future, but contributes to the health and stability of our national economy overall.Unfortunately, surveys consistently show that most Americans are sadly lacking when it comes to basic “financial literacy.” The result is that many end up making common investing and retirement planning mistakes they could have avoided.Scranton Academy for Financial Education LTD (S.A.F.E.) is dedicated to providing no-cost financial education as a public service.
