TMBA produces youth-oriented financial literacy video

The Texas Mortgage Bankers Association (TMBA) has produced a video presentation introduction on credit, how to use it wisely, and how it can affect lives. This video and materials on managing credit will be made available to high schools, youth groups and community-based organizations throughout Texas to educate young people on using credit wisely. The Home Economic Network video and educational materials are available at no cost. The video and materials can be viewed through the TMBA Web site a www.texasmba.org/HomeEcoNet/.

The videos have been distributed to all Texas State Representatives. State Representative Dan Flynn of House District 2 office reports that, "Our office would like to help in whatever way we can with the Home Economic Network credit program. Please let us know what you need help with and we would be happy to do what is needed."

TMBA's Home Economic Network video has also won the approval of Texas Public Broadcasting Association and is now listed on the Texas Digital Datacasting Pilot Project, which partners with the Texas Education Agency.

At this point, TMBA's objective is to get the video and credit educational resources in front of young adults who can benefit from these learning tools. For more information or a copy of the DVD and educational materials please visit TMBA's Web site at www.texasmba.org/HomeEcoNet/.
