BrokePiggy LIVE in Perry, Oklahoma

Grant — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:48:51 +0000

Yesterday, I had the honor of hanging out with some great students in Perry, OK to discuss entrepreneurship and personal finance.

We discussed investing, savings, banking, spending, credit cards, career choices, taxes, and a plethora of other things related to the world of money. It was a great event, and I know the students got a lot out of it.

I’m really excited to announce a new program to educate students about money and personal finance called BrokePiggy LIVE! It is a relevant one-day program that partners with high schools and other youth events to teach students about personal finance in a way that makes sense to them! One of the best parts…BrokePiggy LIVE is actually two programs in one!

A high-energy and entertaining 45-minute assembly/keynote
An interactive and more in-depth workshop (up to 3 hours) for a smaller group of your students.

You can download more information about the program here or visit our new page on the BrokePiggy.com website. If you’re interested in bringing BrokePiggy LIVE to your school, conference, or other student event, click here or email us at info@brokepiggy.com.

Really excited about a project I’ve recently completed that I wanted to share with you. It is a new e-book called “How To Go To College For FREE!”

It is a 21-page e-book with 15 different tips for not only finding extra money to help pay for college, but also tips to decrease the cost of your education.

It’s extremely practical with “now what” steps included with each tip. In addition, there are several websites and valuable links to help with the process.

Here are a few of the items covered in “How To Go To College For FREE!”:

Why submitting the FAFSA early gets you more money (page 5)

How to earn $50 per hour through scholarships (page 7)

3 websites you can use to get family and friends help pay for your education (page 11)

How to save $20k+ per year by starting at a community college (page 15)

The story of how one student earned 72 college credits through AP & CLEP tests…while still in high school! (page 16)

How one student earned an additional $10,000 in scholarships with a few simple phone calls (page 19)
