The Money On My Street Financial Literacy Program was established by our parent company, GJT Enterprises, LLC, to provide financial literacy and empowerment to underserved areas within Essex County, New Jersey.  We believe that when residents, within our communities, understand and take ownership of their personal finances, they can make better financial choices, take ownership of their own lives and, ultimately, help to build and maintain the communities they live in. Through the establishment of the “Money On My Street” financial literacy program, we plan to help individuals build healthy habits when it comes to their personal finances and help them build intergenerational wealth to create a legacy for their families future. 

 

The Money on My Street financial literacy program is based off the first book written in the “Money On My Street” series, written by our founder, Gavin Taylor, entitled “Money On My Street – The ABCD’s Of Wealth Accumulation”.  The “A” stands for Asset Accumulation; the “B” stands for Budgeting and Banking; the “C” is for Credit Building or Rebuilding; and the “D” stands for Debt Elimination.  The program consists of one-on-one financial/credit coaching and a series of financial literacy workshops, which can be tailored to the needs of the servicing organization, which focuses on teaching individuals the four principles, outlined in the book, and how to be in complete control over their personal finances. The financial literacy program also provides comprehensive instruction on how to create budget plans, establish new credit, and how to negotiate and make payment agreements with creditors.
