Power Over Plastic: Credit, Cash, and Your Brilliant Financial Future (by Jenny Smith)
What is it about credit cards that seem so dangerous and so exciting at the same time? Is credit money? Join us in this powerful session to learn about the world of credit cards. We will discuss how credit cards work, how to get one, how to avoid the dangers and scams, and how to use them while staying out of debt and managing your money. We will define the strange terms we always hear: interest rates, minimum payments, credit history, identity theft and credit score. And you will have an op- portunity to see a credit report and learn how your credit life is tracked. Learn to use the power of plastic and make the most of your cash, your credit, and your brilliant financial future.
Living Within Your Means: Yes You Can! (by Ly Franshaua Pipkins)
Ever wondered how to make the most of the money you have? Come and learn how to identify the difference between a spending plan and a budget. Learn how to use a spending plan and learn how to build a sold, prudent reserve/contingency fund (3-6 months living expenses).
