I know you can only lead a horse to water, but so many of my coworkers are living paycheck to paycheck. I work in a somewhat large service industry company and most employees make about 1.5x to 2x minimum wage. I want to take over one of our informational bulletin boards and at least try to help. How should I go about this? What are good ways to get someone's attention and make getting out of the cycle an attainable goal? I want to make it attention-grabbing, non-judgmental, but easy to grasp and execute. Something that can offer at least some short-term results to keep people interested. I'm by no means an expert. I didn't even really understand what a budget was until my late 30s, and even now I'm no MMM. I just feel like there's gotta be a way to let people know they're not alone, there's no shame, but there is a way out. Suggestions?

Haha, yes, sorry. Thank you for the response, tho. An actual thing posted on a physical wall. Like, what are good newspaper articles to help people feel less alone? What are good "quick tips"? It just depresses me hearing everybody talk about how they can't afford medicine until payday, or that the insurance on their BRAND NEW CAR is too high, or having to borrow from retirement accounts, etc. But nobody wants to be lectured on money and everybody is convinced he's the one person who would never be able to save because of a, b, c...

I think you're right that one on one is best, but I worry that would come off as incredibly smug and demeaning. I feel I need to just help people get a toe in the water somehow.
