1 EXAMPLE PRESENTATION SCRIPT The following is an example script for the Are You Credit Wise? presentation. (Slide 1) Hi, my name is ______ and I’m a Junior studying _____________. I’m here today to talk about smart money management. I’m sure it’s everyone’s favorite discussion topic. But, we promise over the next 30 minutes you will learn a lot and might even have a little fun. This workshop is part of the "Are You Credit Wise?" peer education campaign developed by MasterCard Worldwide. Before we begin, I wanted to highlight exactly what we want you to take away from this presentation. - First and most important -- HOW to Budget - Second, HOW to deal with your credit card or cards - Third, HOW to read and obtain your credit report Speaking of credit cards, I wanted to take a quick survey of the room. Raise your hand if you: • Have one credit card? • Have more than one credit card? • Have $100 debt on your credit card right now? • Have between $100- $500 debt on your card? • Lastly, have between $500 - $1000 debt on your card? I won’t even ask who has more than $1000 debt on their credit cards, because I don’t feel like raising my hand right now. For those of you who have $1000 on you credit cards: How long do you think it will take you to pay off that $1000 if you only make the minimum payment each month? (Slide 2)
