Website offers tips for financial security; sign up for email alerts

Cooperative Extension has teamed with the State Consumer Protection Bureau, the State Treasury, and the N.H. Banking Department to help residents protect, save, and manage their money.

A year in development, the New Hampshire Consumer Education Partnership has developed an information website and will deliver monthly emails containing notes about consumer fraud and educational tips on money-saving opportunities. The monthly emails may come more often to alert residents of a specific issue or to highlight a particular educational opportunity.

"We lead many money-management workshops throughout the year, and we are pleased to be part of this new group," says UNH Cooperative Extension Dean and Director, John Pike.

"Education is the key to help residents to preserve what they have earned," says Assistant Attorney General James Boffett. "This group will develop and deliver notes and tips to residents who sign up for them that will help them avoid financial problems."

"Our goal is to reach residents, encourage them to save for emergencies, and help them to navigate an increasingly complex financial world," adds Deputy Banking Commissioner Robert A. Fleury.
