I am excited to be speaking at Cowee Baptist Church (Pastor David Powell) in Franklin NC tomorrow morning during their 8:45 and 11:00 AM services!  In the evening, I will be teaching the Financial Learning Experience.

Here is what I know to be true:  We all have friends and family that struggle with financial issues.  If you live in the general vicinity, I challenge you to bring somebody with you!  You can find out more information HERE.

I can not believe that I get to do this!

I am excited to announce that The Saving Freak will be offering the SavingFreak/GroceryFreak Workshop for FREE in an on-line workshop – and the first one is tonight!

As I have said before, The Saving Freak continually amazes me with how he saves money on nearly everything he buys.  I have applied most of his savings ideas in my own life, and it has truly made a HUGE difference!

Here are some things I have learned from him:

• How to cut my grocery bill by nearly 25% (using coupons and GroceryFreak.com and other coupon websites)
• How to make my el-cheapo disposable razor last at least 10 months
• How to locate discount codes for most of my on-line purchases
• How to cut my hotel bills by more than 50% (and our team travels A LOT)
• How to cut my car rental bills by more than 50% (and we also rent a lot of vehicles)

I am SO EXCITED that we have been able to offer this workshop on-line!  It will be offered on two different dates – tonight (3/9) and also one week from today on March 16th from 7PM – 9PM Eastern Time.

Did I mention that it is FREE?  Registration is required.  Learn more and REGISTER HERE.

The Saving Freak will be leading the Saving Freak/Grocery Freak Workshop in Hickory next Tuesday (2/9) from 6:30PM – 8:30PM.

This workshop is focused on helping people free up money in their budget RIGHT NOW so that they can gain margin.  Learn how to use coupons at the grocery store, how to cut travel costs by 50% or more, and how to obtain razors for free, and how to make that razor last more than 10 months .

I personally have benefited from savings of over $1,500/year because of the tools/tips that he teaches – especially the tips on grocery shopping (couponing) and travel.

The cost is $10 for those who register in advance (HERE) or $15 at the door.

Since this IS a Saving Freak workshop, you should not be surprised that there is a coupon for those who register in advance.  There is a spot on the REGISTRATION PAGE that says “Enter Discount Code”.  Use the coupon code “HALFOFF” to cut the advance ticket fee by 50%!

• Tape 8 Messages for the IWBNIN Group Study

Our team is honored to have been able to partner with so many great people and churches to teach practical financial principles.  We are grateful for the opportunity to invest in so many lives.
