Summer Class Schedule!

As we approach the official start to summer, we felt it was high time for a Financial Wellness class update! The Financial Wellness classes are going strong, each location holding its own unique variety of individuals and discussion. 

One main topic that has come up in many of our discussions is the difference we find between what we actually make and what we are spending. For some of us, we have a number of how much we make in our head and then spend our money accordingly to what we ‘think’ we have to spend. The problem is, there is often a HUGE different between these two numbers! I would challenge you to do this exercise. On a piece of paper, write down all the things you spend money on (wants and needs) and how much you would guess or know you spend on them in a month. After that, write down how much income you make each month – are you making more than how much you are spending? Hopefully, the answer is yes! But if you answered no, it’s time to evaluate your spending habits and make some healthy changes!

Financial Wellness is something each and every person can benefit from – you can never stop learning! If you are interested in attending a class, our summer schedule is listed below. If you do not see a class near you or would like to host a class, contact us in the Economic Empowerment Department at: 412-820-2050 ext 419. Cheers to your financial health!
