New Financial Education Site for Spanish Speakers

The National Foundation for Credit Counseling is celebrating April as Financial Literacy Month with the launch of termineconsudeuda.org, designed to educate Spanish speakers about financial challenges related to job loss, foreclosure, and consumer debt obligations. Education tools available on the site include a consumer tips section, a budget worksheet, multiple calculators and consumer tips articles, credit counseling process information, answers to frequently asked questions, and information on how to locate an NFCC Member Agency to set an appointment for counseling. It adds to previous NFCC products available in Spanish such as: Claves Para Ser Propietario (Keys to Homeownership), Mejore su Suerte (Better Fortunes), Hay Mas de Una Salida (More than One Way Out), Viva Una Vida Mas Plena (Live a Richer Life), a financial recovery roadmap post-bankruptcy, and a free DVD about foreclosure. The NFCC network of member agencies includes hundreds of trained and certified Spanish-speaking counselors.
