According to the National Financial Educators Council, only 54% of Americans possess the basic knowledge necessary to make qualified financial decisions.
The good news is you don’t need to be a financial planner to make the most of your money.
Our Financial Literacy classes teach you how to manage money and stay on track.
Topics include
- Money – Where does it come from? Where does it go?
- Debt management – setting goals, short-term and long-term strategies
- Budgeting – planning for both known and surprise bills
- Decision-making: how to make tough choices in tight months
- Responding to debt collectors
- Credit building & repair
