Karen, I won't be attending but I can recommend a tip that could save you thousands of dollars: Leave your credit cards at home.Most of the free / low cost seminars give you a few crumbs of information but are mainly sales presentations designed to "upsell" you on more expensive "boot camps" and/or "mentoring programs".They all follow the same classic sales formula, they'll tell you that it normally costs $X (you can even go on their website and see that price) but "today only" or "only for the first N people to sign up" they're putting on a special deal.They'll do the whole "this is how much it would cost individually but here's an incredible package deal" etc.

If you want to study up on your own check out Nolo Press website and books. 

Some city might have just loose the restrictions and have yet reflect on its website. 

Dave Ramsey gets a lot of flack on here but you gotta admit his philosophy works .I'm not too keen on his investing strategies but Dave is right that the Bible has proven sound concepts on dealing with finances .There is a reason Jewish people ,although a very small percentage of the country ,have a great portion of the nations wealth and I say that in a very respectful way .
