The story of Benjamin Franklin, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, is one of remarkable achievement, innovation, and unwavering commitment to the principles of financial literacy. Benjamin Franklin was not only a statesman and inventor but also a strong advocate for responsible financial management. His life story and values align closely with the mission of Houston Money Week, which seeks to make financial literacy accessible to all Houstonians. Benjamin Franklin is celebrated for his wise sayings, such as “A penny saved is a penny earned” and “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” He was a self-made man who started as an apprentice and became a successful printer, author, scientist, and diplomat.
