Would You Like a Grilled Cheese Sandwich? (Financial Education Opportunities)
Submitted by dan on Thu, 10/28/2010 - 3:40pm
I can cook a really great grilled cheese sandwich! But that's about the extent of my culinary prowess! No one in their right mind would dare take cooking advice from me. However, people every day take financial advice from their neighbors, friends and online buddies without really knowing if they are remotely qualified to offer such advice. If you listen to financial advice from people who are always broke, guess what you'll be. Broke!
Fortuntately financial education has come into the limelight over the last two years. Schools have begun making it a part of the curriculum, local credit unions such as mine have established formal programs, churches and other non-profit groups are offering opportunities as well. If you are struggling with finances to any extent at all, you're not alone. Connect with a local organization that is offering educational opportunities and get some good advice. If you're looking for a list of opportunities email me at dan@piedmontcu.org and I'll connect you with one of them.
UPDATED: My credit union's program is called Financial Focus. Our next event, Planning for a Golden Retirement, is November 8, 2010. We'll have a local expert on retirement & estate planning, Richard Jones, as our special guest. For all the details or to sign up visit www.piedmontcu.org/FinancialFocus.

Outdated info, please remove or update, a credit union with an event from 2 years ago. I hope the rest of your business is not run this way..... “My credit union's program is called Financial Focus. Our next event, Planning for a Golden Retirement, is November 8, 2010.” a leery member
Thank you so much for
Thank you so much for bringing that to my attention. I've updated it accordingly. I left the link at the end since it is still relevant and will show any current Financial Focus events.
Incidentally, we are in the process of redesigning our entire website. Any suggestions you may have are welcome. Email me at dan@piedmontcu.org. Thanks again for your feedback.
