Know More Money with Broadcaster and Consumer Advocate Pat Foran
Families eligible for the Canada Learning Bond are raising children on incomes of less than $50,000. Their knowledge of, and experience with, financial programs and products might be limited. As a result, they could be missing out on opportunities that could benefit their families or be vulnerable to products that could cost them. As part of SmartSAVER’s commitment to assist families to become more informed financial consumers, we created an online speaker series called Know More Money!
Know More Money! brings Canada’s best financial thinking to a financially challenged audience, offering tips on saving, spending and investing that are relevant to consumers with no money to spare. Participants can engage with our featured experts using Twitter to get tips and to have their questions answered. Our first event featured award-winning entrepreneur and author Teresa Cascioli from M is for Money! Teresa answered participant questions about financial topics, and teaching children about money.
This October our guest financial expert is Pat Foran, broadcaster, author, public speaker and consumer advocate for CTV’s Consumer Reporter who will answer your questions about credit cards.
Join us on Twitter October 19, from 1-2 PM to chat with Pat Foran about controlling your relationship with your credit cards. Three lucky participants will win a copy of Pat Foran’s latest book: The Smart, Savvy Young Consumer: How to Save and Spend Wisely.
Promote this event among the families you serve and give them the opportunity to chat directly with a recognized financial expert about money issues.
