To help millennials take control of their money, Insider presents "How to take control of debt, build credit, and set yourself up to build wealth," a free, live virtual event that's part of our Master Your Money series.

In this virtual hour-long discussion, two personal finance professionals and a Personal Finance Insider moderator will outline steps and share ideas on how to take control of credit and debt to build wealth in the long term.

This event will be the culmination of Insider's first month-long Master Your Money Bootcamp, which challenges anyone to de-mystify their finances with a series of simple steps (starting with tracking down all your passwords!). Learn more about the Bootcamp here.

Topics will include:

• Why your credit matters - and who's watching
• The truth behind "good" and "bad" debt
• How to best tackle those student loans
• When a credit card is a good (or bad) idea
• How to fight back against overwhelming debt
• How to be smart when you need to - or choose to - borrow money

The discussion will be moderated by Libby Kane, executive editor at Personal Finance Insider. She'll be joined by Kelly Lannan, vice president of Young Investors for Personal Investing, a unit of Fidelity Investments, and personal finance coach, author, and speaker Tarra Jackson.

This free, live virtual event will take place on Tuesday, May 18 at noon ET. Register here »
