Lake County, IL- The Lake County Treasurer’s Office, First Midwest Bank and Restoration America have partnered to offer the residents of Lake County free Financial Literacy courses. The goal behind teaching financial literacy is to help people develop a stronger understanding of basic financial concepts to better handle their money. 

Treasurer Kim believes it’s important to empower residents and equip them with the tools to make smarter financial decisions. “One of my goals was to raise awareness about the importance of financial education such as, knowing how to make a budget and living within your means.
