Budgeting & Money Management

General Budgeting

General budgeting and special savings topics are advertised throughout the year in either virtual or in-person settings. Most of these topics are free! Budgeting For the Year class covers an in-depth, yearly budget that provides participants with a calendar to help keep track of goals throughout the calendar year. This class has a $10 fee for the cost of the calendar.

Holiday Budgeting, Basic Budgeting, and Financial Wellness are a couple other program areas that may be covered through scheduled lunch-and-learns.

 


Real Money, Real World

This program is designed for teens to help them learn about real life financial education. This program is broken down into four lessons:

  1. How Occupation Affects Income
  2. What You See is Not What You Get (Payroll Deductions)
  3. How to Use Checking and Savings Accounts
  4. Making Real Money, Real World Choices (Simulation)

In the simulation, students are assigned occupations with various salaries and education, as well as a number of children that will need to provide for. They are taught the importance of making good, smart decisions and setting goals.

 


Money 101 (Coming this Fall!)

Money 101 is a 4 week program designed to go over budgeting and basic money management skills.
