Episode 62: The $520 Challenge and how YOU can help.

In 2018, I began to work, in conjunction with Foothills Care Center on a year long, comprehensive financial literacy class.  The idea was to help teach participants how to "redirect" $10 per week into a savings account and then have the funds matched by donors.  In the first round, all but 2 participants finished the program, each participant made some lifechanging financial improvements, and one even became a homeowner!  The program included sessions that taught: - Budgetting - Insurance basics - Investment basics - Financial habits - Mortgage/real estate basics - Legal/estate planning basics. Our office is hosting a fundraising event on May 28th from 4pm until 7pm at 916 East North First St in Seneca South Carolina.  If you would like to attend, please  CLICK HERE.   We are covering 100% of the cost of the food, but are simply asking for donations of any amount.  There will also be a silent auction.  All monies raised will go directly to Foothills Care Center. If you would like to send a donation to benefit this program please visit https://www.myegiving.com/app/giving/eGiving-762807 To learn more about the great work that Foothills Care Center is doing, visit www.foothillscarecenter.org As always, email [email protected] to discuss any of the financial issues that are keeping YOU up at night.
