The cost of financial illiteracy affects every person in our community. Our cost of living is driven higher as merchants charge everyone more to make up for what's lost through bankruptcy and unpaid credit card charges.
So even if your finances are in order, you have a personal interest in raising our community's financial literacy.
If you would like to join the MemphisDEBT collaborative, please contact us.
The collaborative is a non-profit, broad-based group of Mid-Southerners that includes voices from all segments of our community.

• Compare interest rates. Predatory lenders rely on the fact that you won't do your research before signing a contract.
• Contact the Better Business Bureau before loaning money, to make sure the company you're doing business with is reputable. Click here to visit the Midsouth Better Business Bureau website. • Be wary of making quick decisions. Repairs to a car or a home can cause such anxiety that consumers often go with the first offer without considering the financial effects. • Predatory Lending in the News: Memphis Needs Relief From Epidemic of Predatory Lending from The Commercial Appeal |
