Credit – Personal Finance Workshop

How does credit really work?

The credit system is built against the consumer, but, due to marketing, most people do not understand why. Learn the system and how to change it to your advantage.

CHWARI has developed our personal finance series in response to demand from our CHWs. It is delivered by Joan Ayotte, Certified Financial Educator, Education & Job Development Specialist at Community Action Partnership of Providence (CAPP).
