On Oct. 6 at 6:15 p.m. we will have a meeting at Assembly of God on South Davis Road. It’s open to the public for ideas to help your money make it to the end of the month.

Yes, we will have a short meeting with several different speakers talking about using your money the smart way. A local loan officer will talk about loans and keeping your credit in good shape.

I will be talking on setting goals and keeping yourself out of trouble. Jason Branson, the pastor, will talk about what the Bible says about money.

There is NO CHARGE, so please come out and get a few ideas that may make your month have less stress on paying the bills. If you’re driving a new BMW and are broke, this may be a place you want to come and get some fresh ideas.
