The FLEC members have pursued a variety of financial literacy and education approaches to provide information, instruction, and guidance to help American households meet their financial goals. The FLEC provides a platform for its member agencies to collaborate and share those approaches, as well as ideas, research findings, and experiences that inform financial education policies and practices. Through the FLEC’s efforts, federal financial education support and services can be more effective and coordinated.  \nAs the country continues to emerge from the aftermath ofthe financial crisis, Americans are, on average, experiencing less financial stress and improved satisfaction with their financial condition. However, large segments of society continue to face financial difficulties.2 The financial difficulties of individuals and families can dramatically affect the financial health of local communities, and it is clear the financial well-being of individuals and families is fundamental to national financial stability. In the United States, nearly one in five households reports spending more than they earn in income (not including the purchase of a new home, car, or other big outlays).3 Nearly half of all households are not able to pay for an unexpected $400 expense without having to borrow money or sell something,4 and over half worry about running out of money in retirement.5 The understanding, skills, tools, and resources to make informed financial decisions are important for attaining and maintaining financial health and security. Supporting the financial capability  \n1 Financial well-being is a state of being wherein a person can fully meet current and ongoing financial obligations, can feel secure in his or her financial future, and is able to make choices that allow enjoyment of life.
