BAIL YOURSELF OUT!
The financial crisis of the “GREAT RECESSION” is especially threatening for women, who bear the brunt of poverty worldwide and in times of widespread economic hardship fare even worse than usual. With lower incomes and savings than men, women are most vulnerable to homelessness and unemployment. Families headed by single women, particularly if they are black or Latino, are the poorest. 14 million U.S. women live in poverty — one in 8.
Our guests represent nonprofit debt management and financial counseling organizations and will address commonplace financial problems such as facing foreclosure, being upside down on a car note and having credit card debt and student loans we are unable to pay off.
