Lacefield said, "Investing Basics is not just for people who are interested in investing in the stock market; it's for anyone who wants to take control of their money. Most people have mortgage payments, general living expenses, car payments, and other expenses that make it difficult to take control of their finances. That's why we are providing this class, which will give participants the tools to do the hardest part - get started."
