Abstract	In 2011, the Financial Literacy and Education Commission (FLEC) developed a national strategy, "Promoting Financial Success in the United States: National Strategy for Financial Literacy," which established goals for the various sectors seeking to increase financial literacy and improve individual financial well-being. The goals included: (1) increase awareness of and access to effective financial education; (2) determine and integrate core financial competencies; (3) improve financial education infrastructure; and (4) identify, enhance, and share effective practices. The "2016 National Financial Literacy Strategy Update" highlights progress in financial education since the release of the "2011 National Strategy" and the actions the FLEC has taken to advance the action areas of policy, education, practice, research, and coordination, and identifies next steps in these areas. In addition, the "National Strategy Update" summarizes what research has uncovered about financial literacy and financial well-being since 2011, and highlights key factors that will impact future efforts to improve Americans' financial well-being. The purpose of the "National Strategy Update" is not to revise but rather to build upon the overarching strategic framework that was laid out in 2011, so that all organizations involved with personal finance education, research, practice, and policy will find this "National Strategy Update" useful to help guide their work. The aim is for stakeholders across the country--within the federal government and beyond--to develop, implement and evaluate specific objectives that support and advance the elements of the National Strategy while working together to achieve a shared vision of financial well-being for all people in the United States. This document is intended to summarize the learning and achievements of recent years, as well as highlight areas where efforts can continue to evolve toward attaining a shared vision.
