Making a comprehensive budget allows you to have more control of your finances and can reduce stress to benefit your overall well-being. This workshop focuses on meeting needs while maintaining as consistent of a quality of life all year by proactively planning for upcoming expenses.
Credit Reports and Scores
People often think that a credit score measures how financially stable or responsible someone is. This is not always the case. Credit Scores have several components into what determines your number, and it can vary for many different reasons even day-to-day. This workshop takes a detailed look at all the components and provides you with unbiased information and support in making decisions related to credit.
