New On-line Program to Help You Reduce Your Debt
Are you one of the millions of Americans who are captive to your bills? Do you feel that you need some extra help to make your money go further? Do you wonder how you will survive until the next paycheck? Are bill collectors calling you asking for payment?
If you can answer yes to even one of these questions, you should be involved in this new program, Follow the Road to Pay Down Debt. This on-line program will guide you through the ten road signs to help you reduce your debt and begin to save money. The program is being piloted across the state by University of Nebraska Cooperative Extension.
Through this program you can learn the financial planning process – what it is and what it can do for you. You can learn about practices of the financial world, especially the credit practices and your rights related to credit. By applying the process to your finances you will begin to take control through better decision making.
An added feature of the site will be “Ask the Educator.” Here you will be in contact with educators who will give you individual help. This makes the site unique and will be of benefit to those seeking help. All information will be strictly confidential. When you join, the information you put in the worksheets will be saved so you will be able to work on your plan at your convenience. During the piloting of the project, there will be no fee to join and receive this extra help.
Now is the time to enroll in this program. Go to www.PayDownDebt.unl.edu or contact your local University of Nebraska Cooperative Extension Office or call Kathy Prochaska-Cue, Extension Family Economist at 402-472-5517. This is a project of University of Nebraska Cooperative Extension Building Strong Families Initiative.
