Join us for our first free Adulting 101 community class: Budgeting Without Shame.
This class is designed for anyone who feels overwhelmed, confused, stressed, or even embarrassed when it comes to money. Whether you’re starting from scratch, trying to recover financially, or just wanting to better understand how budgeting actually works in real life — you are welcome here.
This will be a relaxed, judgment-free conversation focused on practical financial skills that people often aren’t taught growing up.
Topics may include:
• understanding basic banking
• checking vs savings accounts
• debit cards and direct deposit
• credit basics
• building healthy money habits
• creating a realistic budget
• managing bills and monthly expenses
• saving strategies
• avoiding common financial traps
• budgeting during hard times
• financial stress and shame
• tools and resources that can help
Our goal is not perfection. Our goal is helping people feel more confident, informed, and supported when it comes to managing everyday life.
Free to attend.
Open to all ages and backgrounds.
More event details will be posted soon.
