(DURHAM, July 28, 2005) — Credit card management. Budgeting. Saving. Investing. Home ownership and home equity. These are all important components of our personal finances, but making sense of them can be daunting. Outlook on Money, a special New Hampshire Public Television series that was launched this spring, is targeted to people of all ages and income levels to help them establish and maintain financial security. The special project was launched through the assistance of a $50,000 grant from Citizens Bank Foundation. The first five “Outlook on Money” programs will air August 1 through August 5 @ 10 p.m. on NHPTV’s award-winning nightly program, NH Outlook. Beyond the 12 stories that will be broadcast in 2005-2006, “Outlook on Money” will be made available to schools, libraries, and community groups. Content for the series was contributed by 20 economic assistance and guidance organizations in the state, among them NH Jump$tart Coalition, Fannie CLAC and UNH Cooperative Extension Whether it's learning to live on a budget, teaching children to spend and save wisely, or planning for college and retirement, Outlook on Money offers advice from experts around the state. These financial literacy segments are available for online viewing at https://nhpbs.org/outlook/money/, along with interactive and other resources.
