LEWISTON — Practical strategies for overcoming debt and achieving financial independence will be discussed at Lifetree Café at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, March 16, at 1919 Lisbon Road. 

The program, titled “Financial Freedom: Practical Advice From a Man Who Had It All — and Lost It,” features a filmed interview with Matt Bell, a financial adviser who learned money management partially due to a personal financial fiasco.

“I was blind to what was happening to the money I had, and I was acclimated to the lifestyle I was leading,” Bell said. “I literally woke up one day and I realized I was in trouble.”

Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Lifetree Café is a place where people gather for conversation about life and faith in a casual, comfortable setting.
