Budgeting is the foundation of a healthy relationship with money. Your Money Matters: Developing a Budget will discuss the process of creating a plan to spend and invest your hard-earned money wisely to meet your personal and financial goals in life. A realistic budget allows one to meet their needs and many of their wants while still saving for the future.
Your Money Matters: Setting Money Goals Webinar is September 26, 2022, 11:30 am – 12:30 pm.
Goal setting is a roadmap to success with a higher level of financial security, freedom, and literacy. Without a financial destination or a plan, we often find ourselves on convoluted paths toward meeting our needs, our desires, and our dreams. Your Money Matters: Setting Money Goals will help keep you focused when making decisions about how you allocate your money. Clear goals allow us to celebrate accomplishments and the small steps taken toward goal achievement.
Your Money Matters: Credit Cards Webinar is October 3, 2022, 11:30 am – 12:30 pm.
Credit cards are powerful financial tools, especially for building a credit history. However, they may cause consumers to spend more than what is allowed in their budget. Credit cards can create the illusion of free money. Join Your Money Matters: Credit Cards to learn how to manage credit cards wisely to maintain financial health
Your Money Matters: Debt Management Webinar is October 10, 2022, 11:30 am – 12:30 pm
No matter what someone’s level of debt is, there are many strategies and resources available to control the pattern and get back on a path of financial wellness. Your Money Matters: Debt Management will discuss these strategies! Over-borrowing money can be a downward spiral into financial despair if not caught and controlled. Financial stress can take a toll on one’s physical health, relationships, and overall wellbeing.
Your Money Matters: Identity Theft Webinar is October 17, 2022, 11:30 am – 12:30 pm.
Identity theft can wreak havoc with one’s credit and good name. New scams pop up all the time and staying ahead of fraudsters is one sure way to avoid becoming a victim. Even so, many people still find that their accounts have been hacked or that someone opened credit using their personal information. Join us for Your Money Matters: Identity Theft to learn about protecting your identity, monitoring accounts, and responding promptly to erroneous transactions to help keep us financially safe.
