| The live training teaches
you practical skills on how to create a budget and use it. It also
teaches you how to then get more for the money you have, through teaching
you skills on how to be savvier with your spending. The course is broken
into two 2.5 hour sessions.
At the first session you work through a scenario
of a fictitious family and their finances. The group together helps
generate ideas on how this family could better use their resources and
we build a budget for them. Attendees are then asked to record their
spending for the next 4 weeks and at the 2nd session each participant
works independently to create their own budget (while budget counselors
“float” through the room to help and answer questions).
The rest of session
two is dedicated to being a savvier consumer. We discuss everything from
how to save money on groceries and eating out to understanding how your
credit score is compiled and the basics of how to protect yourself from
identity theft.
You will leave the course with a budget in your hand, the knowledge in
your head of how to use it, and the organizational tools to keep it
going. |
