For those who look to improve their financial skills.

Do you remember the old Steve Martin comedy album "A Wild and Crazy Guy?" During his routine, he said he had written a book entitled "How I Turned a Million in Real Estate Into $25 In Cash." That's me, folks. I invested in real estate twenty years ago, and now, I'm searching between seat cushions in hope of finding enough loose change to get something for lunch.

If you're like me, and not exactly a financial whiz, perhaps these online discussions are just what the doctor ordered.

Who is this for?

The Mesa County Libraries official Facebook page states:
