PRESQUE ISLE — Are you ready to become more comfortable and confident with money? Mark your calendar and spread the word for Women, Work, and Community’s five-week money management class starting Feb. 29. Use your extra day in February to start focusing on finances.
My Money Works: Tools for Smart Money Choices is a 15-hour class that can help you gain the skills and confidence you need to stretch your money, pay your bills, reduce your debt, find money for savings, and set personal financial goals. At the end of the class you will have a plan in place to achieve greater financial stability.
Erica Quin-Easter, facilitator for the class, notes, “If you want to get your household onto more secure financial footing, this class will help you build skills and get support for your goals. Regardless of how much money you have or what stage you are in your life, you can learn where your dollars are going, set financial priorities, and take charge of managing your own money.”
The My Money Works class begins on Feb. 29 and runs through March 28, meeting on Wednesday evenings from 5:30-8:30 p.m. in the Reed Commons Conference Room at Northern Maine Community College in Presque Isle. A follow-up session is scheduled on April 25 to provide additional networking and support.
Pre-registration is required and attendance at all sessions is highly encouraged. There is no fee for attending. Successful completion of this class meets one of the requirements for the Family Development Account (FDA) matched savings program, which can be used to help you purchase your first home, pursue your own college education, or start or expand your small business. This class is supported in part by a grant from the FINRA Investor Education Foundation, through a partnership with United Way Worldwide.
