In accepting the award, Jason said: "In this day when people are living longer and pensions are declining, everyone who wants to retire someday needs to learn how to make good investment decisions. It's a matter of survival. Since it's my mission to help readers reach a level of confidence when they save and invest, I am thrilled to receive the Institute's recognition. It makes the effort of writing worthwhile."

"It is our great pleasure to once again recognize Ms. Jason for her outstanding contribution to financial literacy education," reiterated Gordon.
