    Every day hardworking people, like you, struggle to make ends meet. In fact almost 20 million people 50 and older are feeling overwhelmed by mounting debt, poor credit or lack of savings. It does not have to be that way. Learning to manage your money better is the first step.

    Baltimore CASH Campaign has joined together with AARP Foundation and Charles Schwab Foundation to develop AARP Foundation Finances 50+, a full-featured financial capability program. 

    Our three-part program is simple. Each 90-minute interactive in-person session is designed to help you build habits that can improve your financial situation:
    • Budgeting and goal setting
    • Taking charge of credit and debt
    • Developing a savings plan and protecting your assets 
    This is a series of three sessions which are June 25th, 26th and 27th. You are registered for all 3 sessions when you sign up. 


    The sessions will give you a good handle on where you stand financially, plus simple, hands-on ways to make measurable progress toward your financial goals.
