[I received an EXCELLENT (!!!) email today from the US.gov website. "10 Tips for Managing Money During Life's Big Moments"(http://promotions.usa.gov/financial-literacy.html)The email was full of great links for website training from the US government - all free. The Toolkit listed below has many free publications - PDFs for download. The You Tube videos suggested - see my notes - a couple were poor in content, but the one on "student loan repayment" is a winner - and keeper for reference on what becomes due, when, and what happens in the "post graduation process" when the government wants to have repayment payments paid. The downloadable PDFs - I will put these up in our Crisis-Coaching "Free Subscriber's" Library, too, so you can find these anytime you need these. (If you are not a Crisis-Coaching Member yet, start by "opting in" on the right - this gets you "Free Subscriber" status. We don't 'spam' - we protect your privacy and won't share your email address or name.) These are worth a read - - The Consumer Action Handbook is a "wealth of information" - a WOW! It covers: credit and loans, insurance, identity theft, mobile purchases, info on "deceptive advertising and other practices", confusing financial language, and educational resources. The publications listed below are available for download from the government link listed above as well (just under the title to this post.)
