Hopatcong Area MOMS Club Offers Debt Advice

Class to be held in Stanhope on Saturday morning.

The following is from the Stanhope Area MOMS Club, which also accepts Hopatcong residents:

It seems most conversations lately have focused around topics of debt and budgets but when was the last time you really concentrated on your finances? Have you ever made any of these statements? I wish I could save more money. I wish I didn’t have debt. I don’t know how I’m going to retire. I wish I could pay all my bills and still have a few dollars left over. I work so hard but have nothing to show for it.

Sadly, these thoughts are all too common in the average household, but not all of us are aware of what can be done to correct the problem.

Breaking Free from Debt will use interactive methods to show you exactly how you got into debt, how marketing and society perpetuate excessive debt and review how debt impacts your life and family. Once we have clearly identified the root causes of our debts we will develop the tools to become debt free. Breaking Free from Debt will focus on how to avoid debt and overspending. The financial coaches from Vertical Vision will work with you to develop a realistic plan to becoming debt free and achieving financial freedom.

Attendees will not be asked to share any personal financial information with the group – and all information shared with the Vertical Vision coaches will be kept strictly confidential.
