OKMM Services Spotlight: Financial Friday
Do your clients or students have financial questions you don’t feel comfortable or qualified to answer? Are you looking to provide them with more resources, but you don’t have the time or staff dedicated to develop new initiatives?
Now’s your chance to take advantage of Financial Friday, Oklahoma Money Matters’ online question and answer forum that allows people to anonymously submit personal finance questions through our website and receive answers directly from your office.
Here’s how it works: OKMM selects a question or two from our submissions and prepares the answer(s). On the last Friday of each month, we’ll send the questions and answers to your office for you to distribute through email, include in a newsletter or post on your social media pages and/or website. We’ll even help you develop website text or a button promoting the service to your clients.
Past topics have included tax preparation, living within your means, steps to take if your wallet is stolen, preparing financially for children, saving for college and retirement, credit repair, disaster-proofing your finances, saving vs. paying off debt and many more!
If you’re interested in receiving Financial Friday, call 800.970.OKMM or email OklahomaMoneyMatters@ocap.org for additional information and details. To see more topics we’ve covered, view the Ask OKMM archives.
