We
apologize for any inconvenience.
The
National Endowment for Financial Education® (NEFE®) remains dedicated to
helping you make sound financial decisions to meet life’s financial challenges.
You
can find many practical articles, worksheets, tips and valuable resources on
Smart About Money (www.smartaboutmoney.org) to help you
better understand how to manage your money.
If
you are carrying too much debt, you may find assistance by working with a
credit consolidation service. However, it is important to make sure that the
firm you work with is reputable. You can obtain a list of reputable credit
counseling services from the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (www.nfcc.org) or the Association of Independent
Consumer Credit Counseling Agencies (www.aiccca.org.
The Better Business Bureau (www.bbb.org) can
also provide information about various firms.
