Virtual: Jumpstart Your Financial Future: Tips and Tricks for Managing Your Credit *For Older Teens and Adults
Tuesday, March 1, 2022
Credit cards offer convenience and can be a huge help to building a credit profile, but they can also be a source of misuse. This workshop provides insights on how to manage credit cards, their hidden costs, and tips to avoid credit card traps. Learn about credit reports and credit scores and what steps you can take to improve your financial standing.
We are so pleased to be collaborating with a multitude of MA libraries and the Babson Financial Literacy Project to bring you this series of workshops! Please check our calendar for the other three programs. We hope you can make all four!

About the Babson Financial Literacy Project:
The Babson Financial Literacy Project (BFLP) is a not-for-profit program designed to?help young adults acquire the necessary knowledge and skills for long-term financial prosperity and independence. The program uses interactive case studies developed by Babson finance professors to teach critical financial skills in a community setting. While exploring real-world financial situations, participants build lifelong strategies for budgeting, building credit, saving for retirement, and more.
