The top-rated South Florida-based credit union will be hosting two free public special events – “How Money Works” for kids on April 27 and “There’s No Place Like Home…Buying” for adults on April 30.

“How Money Works,” geared toward kids, ages 6 – 12, will introduce children to the world of financial responsibility and best money practices.

The free presentation will take place on April 27, at 4 p.m., at Carver Ranches Library (4735 SW 18 Street in West Park)
“There’s No Place like Home…Ownership,” an adult seminar hosted by We Florida Financial’s Robert Walker, will address mortgages, refinancing and other home buyer-related questions.

Money Smart Week, created by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago in 2002, is a public awareness campaign designed to help consumers better manage their personal finances. This is achieved through the collaboration and coordination effort of organizations across the country including businesses, financial institutions, schools, libraries, not-for-profits, government agencies and the media. These groups come together once a year to stress the importance of financial literacy, inform consumers about where they can get help and provide free educational seminars and activities throughout the week. Programming is offered to all demographics and income levels and covers all facets of personal finance from establishing a budget to first time home buying to estate planning.
