For those interested in meeting your life's ambitions, BUDGET TALK will introduce you to the Money Maker's 4-Point Plan.

The Money Maker’s 4-Point Plan:

1. Money Matters: Prioritize Savings Over Consumption

2. Pay Yourself First: Increase Savings through Discipline

3. Budgeting Tools: Develop a Personal Budgeting Process

4. Join the Investor Class: Young Professionals and the Capital Markets
FYI - Unfortunately (and ironically), this event is not FREE. However, the fee is probably small when compared to the information you will get (click the linked-title above for registration information).

You know what they say: "It takes money to make money!"
