Way We Spend Open Forum

If you've got money questions,  bring them to The Spectator’s Way We Spend Open Forum Wednesday, Nov. 18.

Learn how to save wisely, how to tackle debt and tips to make your dollars stretch further.

The event will feature financial experts Alison Griffiths and Suzanne Schultz. Best known as the host of Maxed Out on the W Network and Dollars and Sense on Viva, Griffiths teaches stressed out people how to turn their financial lives around. She also writes the popular Me and My Money column in the Toronto Star and hosts House Calls, a seminar series on investing and money management.

Schultz is a chartered accountant and a financial planner with RBC Securities in Hamilton. She hosts HGTV’s House Poor, which showcases cash-strapped homeowners who have started a home renovation project they can’t afford to finish. Schultz was one of the local money experts paired with a family for the Way We Spend makeover.

The forum, to be broadcast on Cable 14, will also include money experts from Catholic Family Services of Hamilton and Teachers Credit Union and families featured in the series.
