Two years ago, we launched our #FedLifeHacks program to share practical and adaptable knowledge and strategies that can help improve daily life. We share information in written and video format, developed by FEEA and others, covering topics like financial wellness, health & wellness, education & professional growth, family, free time & fun, and personal philanthropy & volunteerism.

Since the program was launched, we have had over 110,000 visits to our #FedLifeHacks resources. Below is a list of FEEA-developed #FedLifeHacks published over the last 24 months (in reverse chronological order). All of these titles can be accessed at https://feea.org/category/fedlifehacks/
