The Money Management Program is free, confidential, and provided by volunteers who are carefully selected, trained and supervised. A Money Management Program Volunteer can help balance a checkbook, prepare checks for signature, sort and prioritize mail, fill out forms and paperwork, develop a budget, and negotiate with creditors on behalf of eligible participants.

Be at least 60 years old
Live in Beverly, Essex, Gloucester, Hamilton, Ipswich, Manchester-By-The-Sea, Rockport, Topsfield or Wenham
Not earn more than $22,214 ($31,433 for a couple)

The Money Management Program, sponsored by AARP, Mass Home Care and The Executive Office of Elder Affairs, was launched in 1995, and is partially funded by the Commonwealth.
