Mom of two, Keyonna Wright, used LISC’s Twin Accounts tool to build credit & savings at the same time. She sat down with her FOC coach at @PHFS, a LISC partner supported by @WellsFargo Foundation, to talk about how it felt to stick to her #SavingsPlan, pay off a car loan + more.

Just about everyone is saying that they can't live on $1200. Wanna know how they got $1200? the fed. min. wage is $7.25 x 40hr/week, so for 4 weeks thats $1160 a month. That's rounded up to $1200. Think about that next time you say min. wage workers don't deserve a livable wage
