CFPB Designed Three Booklets
They describe the books as:
“These colorful, compact booklets can help you talk with people about money topics that are important to them. Each booklet includes a selection of simplified tools from the Your Money, Your Goals Toolkit-all focused on a common financial stressor.”
Quoting their website,
Book one: Behind On Bills? Start With One Step
Book two: Want Credit To Work For You? Start With These Steps
Book three: Debt Getting In Your Way? Get A Handle On It
You can order free copies of the books or read them online. They are colorful and range from 22 to 24 pages
I plan to order a supply and make them available for my family and friends. They are worthwhile. I came out of high school knowing nothing about money, except that I didn’t have much. Should have read books like these.
