HARAHAN, La. — As consumers worry about their finances and the economy, ASI Federal Credit Union is hoping to provide some answers to their questions by hosting a “Night Out Against Debt” on Nov. 6.

The evening will feature a screening of the documentary film “Maxed Out,” as well as food, prizes, and information to help people better their financial situations.

“Maxed Out” takes viewers on a journey inside the American style of debt, where things seem fine as long as the minimum monthly payment arrives on time. With coverage that spans from small American towns all the way to the White House, the film shows how the modern financial industry really works, explains the true definition of “preferred customer” and tells us why the poor are getting poorer while the rich keep getting richer.

Following the movie screening, ASI staffers will be on hand to offer free counseling to interested individuals on debt and financial management.

“There is no doubt that the recent economic downturn is cause for concern,” said ASI FCU President/CEO Mignhon Tourn?(C). “At the same time, an opportunity has been created for all Americans and financial industry leaders to take a serious look at how we manage our money.”
