Get Money Smart
Have you ever wanted to hire a financial advisor to give you tips on saving and investing money? How much would you pay someone for valuable tips on buying and keeping a home? Would you pay money to listen to someone give you advice on how to start your own business?
Saturday's your lucky day, my friends. The Baltimore CASH Campaign -- which is working with Congressman Elijah Cummings and other community and financial institution partners -- is holding its 3rd Annual Money Power Day on Feb. 16 at the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute, 1400 W. Coldspring Lane, Baltimore, MD. from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
This year's theme is "Road Map to Financial Success." The event will feature an exhibit area with over 40 organizations providing information to working families who need help obtaining and understanding a credit report, legal advice on taxes and information about grants to help people purchase homes in the city. There will also be workshops and services on a range of financial topics from credit counseling to tax preparation assistance.
There will also be a Sustaining Homeownershp track of services to help prevent foreclosure. Bring your kids, too, since there is a Youth Zone, which promises a Money Game segment from Port Discovery.
If you need help with your finances, this could be worth checking out.
