My 24 year old grand daughter is a very bad money manager, do you know anyone in the Lake Geneva area that could meet with her and a family member in order to get her to manage her money better so she is not constantly asking for loans she never pays back. Thank you

Whew. This should start with the Bank of Mom and Dad — saying no to money requests! Sounds like she has never learned the basics.
If she’s working, and earning money, then there are some easy answers. But I’m going to start with a program designed for teenagers — because when it comes to money she IS a teenager!
So here’s a link to Dave Ramsey’s program that teaches money to teenagers. It’s the best place to start!
