Psychology of Spending Webinar
September 8th 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.
We all have a “money personality” and it has a major impact on our attitudes, relationship with money, and spending habits. Understanding your money personality can help you make smart financial decisions. This workshop will teach strategies and tactics to decode personality types to gain control over finances.
Breezing through the Holidays Webinar
September 22nd 3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
It may be called “the most wonderful time of the year,” but December can also be filled with unwanted debt with holiday spending. Learn budgeting strategies to avoid that year-end credit card crunch and sidestep debt traps in the future.
