Last Chance for Financial Tips at the Library

The Acorn Public Library will host a 'Money Smart Financial Education, Financial Recovery,' workshop on Saturday, Feb. 23. The event is free to attend.

Most people could use a little bit of extra coin in their pockets and the Acorn Public Library wants to help residents figure out ways to put a few more dollars in their pocketbooks and keep 'em there—and it's all free.

On Saturday, Feb. 23, from noon to 1 p.m., the library will host, 'Money Smart Financial Education—Financial Recovery,' a program designed to help residents start being money-conscientious.

The workshop will cover topics including: How to assess current financial situation, identifying ways to increase income, decrease and prioritize expenses, developing and implement a financial recovery plan, how to recognize and guard against credit repair scams, and timeframes to review and adjust financial recovery.
