Rising energy, skyrocketing food prices: purchasing power seems to be the number one concern of the French at the moment. And this is also one of the reasons for the interprofessional strike movement which is launched this Thursday, September 29.
But beyond the political challenge, what to do when you can no longer manage to balance your budget. When revenues are greater than expenses. Before falling into the spiral of debt, you can simply and free of charge get help from the Point Conseil Budget. A device run by the state (and locally by the prefectures.)
Five in Haute-Garonne
It exists 500 Budget Advice Points everywhere in France and five for example in Haute-Garonne at Muret, Tournefeuille, and three in Toulouse and in particular at the municipal credit of Toulouse. The aim of these places is to offer support to anyone, whatever their professional situation or their level of resources, as soon as the first signs of financial difficulty appear. Budget advice points that expect to see more and more passage, particularly related to energy bills.
In Albi, it is the Udaf, which leads these advice points. A small, very simple office where families, retirees and young people arrive with their account statement. And then the host dissects them, details the director of Udaf Daniel Fabre.
The advice is personalized, and the follow-up is confidential and completely free. For any request for information or to make an appointment, from Monday to Friday, at the headquarters of the UDAF du Tarn 13 rue des Cordeliers in Albi. Contact: 05 63 48 73 00.
