Here at Innovative Changes, we are always trying to bring our clients the most useful and relevant financial resources that are available online or in the Portland area. Through Innovative Connections we try to create content that helps you budget for the seasons, plan for retirement, and connects you to local events and partner organizations that provide free or low-cost services. We offer these short articles so that you can get a taste of the topic and follow up on it later if you are interested. This month however, we have reviewed a book and a podcast that delve deeper into important consumer finance topics. Both of these resources are extremely helpful for learning all about how debt works, as well as staying informed on how current financial news stories affect you! We hope you enjoy these reviews!

 

All the best,
