ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL – Salt Lake City residents are struggling to make ends meet right now. An unstable economy, rising unemployment rates and home foreclosures continue to impact consumers throughout the area.
In recognition of this growing problem, three financial industry leaders are taking the issue of debt and saving to the streets of Salt Lake City during a national bus tour stop to deliver complimentary financial advice from volunteer, independent registered investment advisors and education to help consumers reverse these startling trends.
The National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA) Consumer Education Foundation, TD AMERITRADE Institutional and Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine are collaborating on the Your Money Bus Tour. Coming to Salt Lake City on April 3, 2009, the Your Money Bus Tour will deliver the important message that it is never too late to start taking steps to prepare for a secure financial future.
During the stop in Salt Lake City, volunteer financial advisors will be on-hand to conduct the following event:
• 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm – Complimentary advice event at the City Library - Main Branch Conference Center (210 East 400 South, Salt Lake City, UT). Bring your financial questions and chat one-on-one with a financial advisor to get your answers. Be sure to also pick-up a handy toolkit full of information on debt reduction and saving.
