Who are we targeting?
Senior Citizens: 65 and older
Why is daily money management valuable to senior citizens?
FINANCIAL FRAUD – In 2011, it was reported by the MetLife Mature Market Institute that older Americans were swindled out of $2.9 billion due to elder financial abuse. For the complete article, see the following link:

Once people hit the age of 65, the chances for Alzheimer’s, dementia, and other mental illnesses begin to increase. With a population of 38 million, which is expected to double in the next 30 years, more and more Americans 65 and older will need help with daily money management tasks.

Examples of elder financial abuse:
- A 72 year old senior woman was scammed out of $125,000 to online predators. See article @ http://newoldage.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/06/13/a-banks-proper-role/
- A senior couple in their 70s and 80s were scammed out of thousands. See article @ http://www.ajc.com/news/nation-world/elder-fraud-one-couples-1463920.html
