Free contact points on the subject of opening money in St. Pölten city center with State Councilor Teschl-Hofmeister and Mayor Matthias Stadler
St. Pölten (OTS) – A free and self-determined life with fewer financial worries can be possible even in times of high inflation and declining financial resources. The Three Coins association wants to pave the way to this in the future with branches of Bildungs &beratung Geldleben. State Councilor Mag. Christiane Teschl-Hofmeister and Mayor Mag. Matthias Stadler opened the new consulting and education model in St. Pölten.
Education & Advice Geldleben is a free contact point that offers help with all worries and questions about money. The aim is not only to directly help people at risk of poverty or exclusion by providing low-threshold financial education and individual support in challenging situations, but also to strengthen the financial literacy of people in Austria as a whole and to remove taboos from the topic of money. In the future, Geldleben Education & Advice will support people in St. Pölten, Vienna and Graz free of charge and independently with all worries and questions about money. This is made possible by funding from the Ministry of Social Affairs.
“At the new location in St. Pölten, primarily women, but also young people and men, can get information and tips on the aspects of money and life from professionals. Financial education is important for everyone and helps to lead a financially self-sufficient and independent life,” said Women’s State Councilor Christiane Teschl-Hofmeister. Choosing a career or starting a family are important decisions that also include financial aspects. In addition, unexpected life situations such as divorce, illness or death of a (spouse) partner can cause financial challenges. “We want to make people aware of financial security at every stage of life. The necessary knowledge about good precautions is essential. I wish the Three Coins team much success in this important task, explains State Councilor Teschl-Hofmeister at the opening.
“We have set ourselves the goal of strengthening the financial literacy of as many people as possible and preventing poverty – because good money decisions are a key to a self-determined and independent life. With Education & Advice on Money Life, we close a gap and combine the teaching of financial education with the fields of social work and life and social advice. The result is an effective offer for everyone,” explains Goran Maric, Managing Director of Three Coins.
Education & Advice Geldleben offers individual support for money questions on site and virtually. There are also numerous information materials, workshops and lectures as well as a service telephone and chat. Networking with other helpful contact points is also offered.
