5 years ago

PRESQUE ISLE, Maine — Starting Feb. 5, New Ventures Maine will offer My Money Works, a free five-week class to help participants gain the skills and confidence to create a budget, explore wise use of credit, make a savings plan and set financial goals.

Suzanne Senechal-Jandreau, the trainer for the class, said, “Managing your money is scary when you don’t feel in control. Regardless of how much money you have or what stage you are in your life, this class helps you find out where your dollars are going, set financial priorities, and take charge of managing your own money.”

At the end of the class, participants will have a plan in place to achieve greater financial stability. My Money Works is planned from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Tuesdays, Feb. 5 to March 5, at the University of Maine at Presque Isle in Preble Hall.

Successful completion of this class meets one of the requirements for the Family Development Account (FDA) or the Rainy Day Savings account.

The class is open to women, men, and couples of all ages and incomes. Pre-registration by Wednesday, Jan. 30, is required, and there is no fee.
