Here We Come, Tampa!

We are on the verge of kicking-off the 2nd leg of the Your Money Bus Tour and what a 2nd leg we have planned! The bus will be traveling from coast to coast and border to border in this next leg which kicks off on January 23rd in Tampa and concludes in Washington, DC in early June 2009.

Between those two stops the bus will be traveling throughout the southern states, the west coast, the Rocky Mountain states, the great plains, the Midwest, the northeast and mid Atlantic. There will be 50 cities visited and will include hundreds of volunteer financial advisors who will be working pro bono to help Americans get the answers they need to their financial questions.
