A FINANCIAL workshop is underway to help people get out of debt and make better choices with their money.
Scott Pearson, who organized the event at the Terrace Alliance Church, said he’d been listening to Dave Ramsey, the person who came up with ideas that are part of what’s being called “financial university” workshops here, and found Ramsey’s advice to be helpful.
And with the economy down for the past few years, Pearson believed it could help people out.
“With the Eurocan shutdown and in the last couple years, Terrace not economically doing well, people could use a bit of help learning to manage what they can do better with their money,” said Pearson. “My wife and I learned to budget a lot better and use our finances a lot better and put ourselves in a better situation to avoid a potential risk of debt.”
