General Budgeting
General budgeting and special savings topics are advertised throughout the year in either virtual or in-person settings. Most of these topics are free! Budgeting For the Year class covers an in-depth, yearly budget that provides participants with a calendar to help keep track of goals throughout the calendar year. This class has a $10 fee for the cost of the calendar.
Holiday Budgeting, Basic Budgeting, and Financial Wellness are a couple other program areas that may be covered through scheduled lunch-and-learns.
Real Money, Real World
This program is designed for teens to help them learn about real life financial education. This program is broken down into four lessons:
- How Occupation Affects Income
- What You See is Not What You Get (Payroll Deductions)
- How to Use Checking and Savings Accounts
- Making Real Money, Real World Choices (Simulation)
In the simulation, students are assigned occupations with various salaries and education, as well as a number of children that will need to provide for. They are taught the importance of making good, smart decisions and setting goals.
