Managing your family’s money in today’s tough economic climate is a constant challenge. With the back-to-school season upon us and the end-of-year holidays on the horizon, planning for both expected and unexpected expenses can be a daunting task – especially if you’re trying to do so with less money than you made in recent years.
The Equifax Finance Blog announces today its first Family Money Matters Video Contest, encouraging consumers to share their best money management tips and strategies in video format, then to vote on the videos providing the most helpful information.
One grand prize winner will receive a $1,000 Discover gift card, and all finalists will receive a complimentary full-year subscription to Equifax Complete™ Family Plan, a credit monitoring and identity theft protection product for the entire family.

I refinanced with a bank out of state because I felt confidence in them. It went very smoothly.
When I save money with coupons at the grocery store I immediately put that amount of money in savings.
@April – Thanks so much for sharing! Do you have a camera phone? We’d love to hear more from you and have you enter the video contest.
