In the July 23 Edmonton Journal, there was an interesting article by Ray Turchansky about financial illiteracy.

Check this website for the list and descriptions of our seminars.
Our fall schedule will be posted in August, but here are the themes and a sneak preview:
September: Back to School: “Kids and Cash”, “ABC’s of Educational Savings” & 6 more!
October: Smarter Spending: “Practical Hints on Spending Less and Saving More” & 5 more!
November: Countdown to Christmas: “Unplug the Christmas Machine” “Scrooges’ Christmas” and more!

We will give away a cool red insulated Money Mentors lunch bag to the 10th and 20th bloggers!!
