MONEY MATTERS It’s become an all-too-familiar headline – lay-offs and furloughs, falling housing prices and rising consumer debt, declining retail sales and increasing costs of living. Money – and the lack of it – is a source of stress and frustration. And while people the world over are working to stem the global financial situation we’re in, folks at home are trying to gain some control over their own financial situations, too. The Bible teaches us that “the people perish because of a lack of knowledge.” Practicing positive, tried and true money management techniques – and learning how to recognize and avoid some “ripped from the headlines” consumer scams and rip-offs – can help you weather tough economic times. Begin today to educate yourself and your family about financial matters. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation’s consumer protection agency, created the website (Money Matters) to help you tackle some money issues head-on. Visit their website to learn more about managing your money and various scams designed to separate you from your money. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
