Financial Readiness for First Responders

Financial Readiness for First Responders – Session 1

Building the Foundation

This is Session 1 of a multi-part Financial Readiness series created specifically for first responders and their families.

This foundational class focuses on building clarity, confidence, and structure around your finances — before diving into budgeting, debt payoff, or savings strategies in future sessions.

• What “financial readiness” really means for first responders
• Common financial stressors unique to shift work and overtime
• How to identify where your money is currently going
• Simple ways to organize income, bills, and expenses
• Why traditional budgeting often fails — and what works better
• How to set realistic financial goals that fit real life

This session is about awareness, organization, and mindset — the essential first steps to long-term financial stability.

✔ First responders (fire, police, EMS, dispatch)
✔ Spouses or partners
✔ Individuals or couples wanting clarity and control over their finances
✔ Anyone feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start

No prior financial knowledge is required.

This is a supportive, judgment-free environment. Participation is optional, questions are welcome, and you may attend solo or as a couple.

Future sessions will build on this foundation with deeper dives into budgeting systems, debt strategies, saving, and long-term planning.
