Create Spending Plan/Budgets

A spending plan or budget is a tool to help you organize your goals, income, and expenses. When some hear the word budget, they may think of limitations and restrictions that prevent that from enjoying their money. However, starting with your financial goals and understanding your financial situation are essential steps to having a solid handle on your finances.

Upcoming webinars in the Financial Literacy Series: 

June 22 | Build Emergency Savings

Do you feel alone in your struggle to save? Financial experts have emphasized the importance of saving for unexpected events and long-term financial goals. However, people at different income levels encounter challenges with saving. This webinar addresses this issue and provides practical ways to help you build, grow, and maintain healthy saving behaviors.

July 20 | Manage Credit

Credit allows many of us to purchase big-ticket items that we wouldn’t be able to buy out-of-pocket, and deciding when and how much credit to use depends on your financial situation. This webinar will explore some money management strategies that can help you become excellent managers of your credit.
