Money Smart Week WisconsinSM is a creation of Governor Doyle’s Council on Financial Literacy.  Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle created the Council to help him improve financial literacy in Wisconsin.  Wisconsin’s campaign grew out of similar successful promotions run by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago in the cities of Chicago and Detroit.�

Wisconsin’s campaign is the first-ever aimed at an entire state.  It targets every city, town, and village throughout Wisconsin.  Its goal is to help you find personal finance resources right in your own backyard.   Click on following link to view this “video of expert comments” about money.
