Financial Literacy Series #3

October 20, 2026
4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
ZOOM

The Financial Planning Association will present this workshop on Making Budgets Work

What you’ll learn

  • Find your budgeting obstacles: identify the real reasons your budget falls apart (not just the symptoms) and learn how to work with your patterns.
  • Build your personal spending tracker: create a simple system to track and analyze spending so you can see where your money is really going.
  • Set goals that motivate you: list both short-term wins (like an emergency buffer) and long-term targets (like moving out, buying a car, or future investing).
  • Master the debt + savings combo: understand why reducing debt matters and how savings protects you from stress—and helps you reach goals faster.
  • Use practical strategies to curb daily spending: learn specific techniques to reduce impulse buys and stop “small costs” from ruining your plan.
