I’m a Michelle Singletary Fan
One of the featured speakers at SOBU is Michelle Singletary, who writes the personal finance column, The Color of Money for The Washington Post. You might have also heard her on NPR’s Day to Day show when it was on the air, too. I like her because she’s a straight shooter. She gets to the point, holds people accountable and helps them find a solution.

Michelle also writes a column on the Tavis Smiley Road to Wealth site. You can ask Michelle a question, download financial worksheets or watch video from PBS's The Tavis Smiley Show, which regularly features financial experts, including Matthew Scott, Sharon Epperson, Suze Orman and Dave Ramsey. These are the heavy hitters, and you can click through the ones that sound interesting (like Tavis’ interview with Farrah Gray, who became of self-made millionaire at age 14!).

Since I am a fan of helpful hints, I like the resource section. They have interesting tips on the 20 healthiest foods under $1 and how to save money at the gas pump. Those little things start to add up if you stick with them!

Nationwide sponsors the Road to Wealth website as part of our relationship with Tavis Smiley. Our goal, together, is to help people become more financially literate and empowered. We travel to major cities in the United States with him and hold free workshops with our experts so you can come out and get real advice during these tough times. We call it the On Your Side Tour. We’re still ironing out the dates, but we’ll be heading to Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Sacramento, Charlotte and Charleston this year. If you're in the area, stop by to see Tavis and figure out how to keep your finances in the black!
