Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009 Posted in Articles, For Libraries, For the Public, Technology and Resources | Comments Off on Hard Times Resource Guide: Resource of the Week – Washington Financial Education Clearinghouse
Welcome to the first installation of the Hard Times Resource Guide: Resource of the Week. Every week we’ll highlight a resource we think is of particular value from our Hard Times Resource Guide. Check out these and other great resources on the Resource Guide web site: http://www.secstate.wa.gov/library/hardtimes/.
This week we’re highlighting a great resource in the “Finances and Money Management” section of the Guide, the Washington Financial Education Clearinghouse page made available by Washington’s Department of Financial Institutions.
Check it out at http://dfi.wa.gov/financial-education/.
This resource is filled with great information. Featured resources on the page right now include financial resources for the unemployed, and tips on how to talk to your kids about the current crisis. On top of these great resources, there is further information on credit, deposit insurance, identity theft, interest rates, investment, foreclosure, mortgages, payday loans, predatory lending, and lots more!
