The 2009 Credit Card Accountability Responsibility & Disclosure [CARD] Act went into effect on February 22, 2010, and will result in many changes regarding credit card policies. Some of the things to watch out for are:

• a return of annual fees
• disappearance of the “grace period”
• new fees for services not specifically banned in the law
• rate hikes for all
• lower credit limits

The Center for Financial Social Work is hosting a *free* webinar on Wednesday, March 10, 2010 at 2pm EST.  This is an opportunity for you to learn all about ‘the good, the bad, and the ugly’ of how the credit card reform will impact your life. To register, send an email to 1financialsocialwork@gmail.com with “FREE Credit Card Reform Webinar” in the subject line.

Are you a damsel in financial distress, ready for a Money Makeover?

Do you want to easily release the blocks that prevent you from feeling secure and confident when it comes to money?

Can you imagine how liberating it would feel to remove the shame of secrecy and isolation of silence you feel regarding your financial life?

Are you ready to receive the support and guidance of a financial therapist –also a woman who recovered from her own money meltdown?

You and money make a cute couple.
But how much do you really know about each other?
As a Money Makeover Artist I will use my financial therapy and money coaching skills
to help you overcome the fear of  your finances in this three-hour workshop.

This workshop is for you if:
* you wonder why you repeat patterns that keep you financially trapped
* you are smart, but don’t feel ‘money smart’
* no matter how much you earn, you can’t seem to save a penny
* you feel isolated, embarrassed, and confused around money
* you have difficulty making financial decisions
* managing your finances has never been easy for you and you know you are ready to change that

In this content-rich 3-hour workshop you will:

* identify the strengths and weakness in your relationship to money, leaving you empowered to know how to create your ideal financial life

* learn how to have a spectacular, romantic “first date” with your money so you can build a long-term joyful future together

* explore what limiting money beliefs you’ve inherited and stop them from holding you back from living financially free

* craft a new image of money that you’re eager to spend time with–believe it or not–so you can help your money grow and take care of you

* leave with an easy but powerful tool to manage money anxiety that you can use anywhere, anytime and free yourself from worry, doubt, and fear regarding finances

* develop a proven strategy that deepen your connection with your money, so you can have greater ease and clarity with your finances

You may be thinking, “I could never talk about my money issues in a group!” You are not alone. I am skilled at creating a safe space {part of the reason I keep the workshop size limited to six} and you will be pleasantly surprised by the ‘female bonding’ that can occur in three short hours!
