United Way of Washtenaw County, local investment firm Revalue and Eastern Michigan University will host the annual Show Me The Money Day event from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., March 7, at the College of Business. It features free and low-cost financial products, community resources, financial workshops, childcare services and fun. The average paid tax preparer charges more than $250 for this service.

Revalue CEO Angela Barbash says, “It’s an impressive roster of partners who are coming together to make this happen for our region.” Workshops cover topics such as homeownership, how to improve credit scores and how to tackle student loans; as well as topics relevant for residents starting sole proprietorships or small enterprises, such as available resources, accessing friendly capital and side hustles.

In 2019, Show Me the Money Day reached 2,567 Michigan residents at 33 events across the state. Community and Economic Development Association of Michigan members host events annually across Michigan from January to April to kick off tax season and promote opportunities to increase income, save and build assets.
