Welcome

The loss of a job causes a wide variety of emotions that sometimes surprise people. But even people who haven't lost a job are facing challenging financial situations. The recent economic downturn and financial bailout has caused increased stress and uncertainty that can be lessened by becoming informed.

Southwest Ohio has been hit especially hard with the loss of thousands of jobs through DHL and affected businesses. The Extension offices in five of the affected counties have been sharing resources that address many of the concerns of our citizens. We hope this resource will be of value to you.

Our goal is to help you be better prepared to face the future. The hope is that you will check this site often for updated and accurate information on financial decision making.

If you know of additional resources that you would like to see on this web site, contact your local Extension office.
