Financial literacy isn’t just a buzzword. Knowing more about money makes a big difference in how you handle it. Feeling financially secure affects more than your wallet—it affects your happiness, your job performance, and your health. Imagine the freedom of knowing you’ve got a solid financial plan backing you up. That’s what financial literacy can bring to your life.

Discover the SISIP Money Mastery Portal

The CFMWS-SISIP Financial Education Program is funded by the Director General Compensation and Benefits, and one of the biggest achievements so far is the SISIP Money Mastery Portal, which has been re-launched. This isn’t your average financial advice page. It’s packed with content that can help CAF members, such as:

  • eLearning courses on Money Myths, Understanding Credit, Where Are You Today? and TFSA vs. RRSP
  • Bonus content for Beginners Stock Market and Retirement Planning
  • Articles covering topics like budgeting, getting out of debt, investing and insurance
  • Webinars on various key financial topics
  • Tools such as a credit card calculator and a budget simulator

Why Financial Literacy Matters More in Military Life

Frequent relocations, deployment impacts and the need to fully understand pensions, benefits and entitlements make financial literacy vital for CAF members and their families. “Financial literacy helps you manage transitions, make better decisions, maximize your benefits, and plan for a secure future,” says Magdalena Serwin, Senior Manager of Financial Education with Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services. “It’s a way to reduce stress and improve your quality of life.”

What’s Next?

CAF members and their families can look forward to even more tailored resources in the future.
