    • Developing a budget
    • The difference between “needs vs wants”
    • Why savings is important
    • Dealing with debts
    • Building an emergency savings fund.
  • The goal is to design the classes based on the individuals or groups attending and provide them the help and direction they need.  The YWCA is willing to provide one-on-one classes  or groups sessions.  Just call us and schedule your sessions.
