SpendSmart.org is an organization that I fully support because their financial wellness workshops serve kids, young adults, families, and seniors.

Learning about the ways to help the At-Risk community that I serve was great. I'm now better able to improve my situation as well, especially in learning that I'm a Giver, one of the 7 MoneTude Types that I learned about. The guys at SpendSmart, Inc. know what they're talking about and I really appreciate learning simple lessons of success.

I was impressed with the SpendSmart workshop that Jeff and Greg did on Tuesday. My wife and daughter enjoyed learning about their MoneTude and money personality types.

I've had serious financial issues since going bankrupt and having my house foreclosed on like so many others. The Founders shared their personal stories of financial grief. Strangely enough, that made me feel better, especially knowing that there is hope for me and my family. I recommend this company and their approach.

I've had the pleasure of volunteering and helping some of the SpendSmart.org workshop events. I like seeing the way people come into the workshop expecting it to be the typical financial literacy workshop. Participants then realize that what they experience is lifechanging.

The webinar that I attended with the SpendSmart.org Team was fantastic. I was able to learn the importance of having good credit and paying off my consumer debt.

SpendSmart, Inc. gave me hope when I thought that I would never be financially free again. I very much appreciate what they do and how I could live debt free if I do what I was taught to do.

I first heard about SpendSmart, Inc. when it was nothing more than a dream, a hope, and a concept. Since that time, I have followed the progress of the Founders, Jeff Morris and Gregory A. Spencer. I have found that their intentional actions have resulted in hundreds and hundreds of people's lives being changed for the better. Not only financially, but most importantly, relationally. I am an avid donor and supporter of their efforts to eliminate the financial achievement gap.

I have been a licensed financial professional and expert in the financial services industry for over 22 years. One of my clients told me about SpendSmart, Inc. and I was curious because the things I heard were not the typical financial literacy jargon that I taught or had ever heard before. I attended SpendSmart's flagship workshop, "Money, Science, Emotions, & U." I was more interested in debating than learning what they had to say. To my surprise, I agreed with everything I heard and realized that their approach was truly unique and as they say, "transformational." I came away a convert and now better understand "why" we do the things we do with money vs. "how" to do the tasks, that I've always trained people to do, like creating a budget, etc. I believe that the people that started SpendSmart, Inc. have hit on things that others need to support and I recommend their workshops and materials to anyone that is trying to better themselves and their families.

After having the experience of the unbelievable coaching and professional insights provided by the Founders of SpendSmart.org their workshops and online training, I realized how much passion they have to serve the At-Risk community. I have seen a number of financial literacy programs and see why SpendSmart.org is different. They focus on the person, not the problem. They help you help yourself because in the end, we are all responsible for our actions, both good and bad. I wholeheartedly support this new way of thinking and the simple 90 day plan of action that the team has created to help others learn how to live debt free and stress free. I would highly encourage any person, foundation, company, or organization that is seeking to make a difference in their community to financially support, partner with and donate their resources to this worthwhile cause.

I have helped to provide and host financial literacy workshop events provided by SpendSmart, Inc., (dba SpendSmart.org). They provide a fun, transformational, and informative series of workshops that impact students, adults, and seniors.
