Riding Out the Storm
Join NBR's effort to focus on personal stories and personal finance during this economic recession and recovery. We want you to use the video sharing site uVu to upload video of yourself talking about your experiences in this financial hurricane. We also want you to upload your personal finance questions. We'll select as many of your questions as we can, ask personal finance experts to answer them on camera, and upload those answers back to uVu.
"Riding Out the Storm" is one of NBR's contributions to public media's ongoing "Economy Story" project. The goal of the project is to help Americans better understand the economy. So, to improve your financial smarts, watch the videos already collected here and add your own. You can also read Jeff Brown's personal finance blog!
Upload your own "Riding Out the Storm" video to uVu!
In your video, tell us about your experiences in this difficult economy. Or, ask us your personal finance question. You'll need to join uVu to participate. You should know uVu is managed by WPBT2 -- the same public television station that produces NBR. And, you might want to read these detailed instructions before you contribute.
