It is open to community members looking to learn tools to better manage their finances.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis workshop is about giving people tools they can actually use,\u201d FISH Community Outreach and Resiliency Director Simon Robson said. \u201cFinancial stress affects so many parts of daily life. By offering clear guidance, we\u2019re helping neighbors feel more confident, informed and in control of their finances.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBuilding Your Financial Plan: Creating a Budget\u201d will be facilitated by Carol Kayes, an accountant who specializes in working with nonprofit organizations and the individuals and families they support. It will focus on helping attendees better understand their financial picture and set achievable goals.<\/p>\n
Topics will include:<\/p>\n
\u2013 Reviewing current financial situations, including income, expenses, savings and debt<\/p>\n
\u2013 Identifying financial goals for the year ahead, the next five years and long-term<\/p>\n
\u2013 Understanding how current finances connect to future goals<\/p>\n
\u2013 Creating a practical plan to reach those goals<\/p>\n
\u2013 Putting that plan into action through a realistic budgeting process<\/p>\n
Attendees will not be asked to share personal financial information. Once registered, they will receive a short list of simple figures to have ready beforehand to help them get the most out of the workshop.<\/p>\n
Light refreshments will be provided.<\/p>\n
