Budgeting Basics: Wednesday, Sept. 20, at FEDCAP Office, Oxford; and Tuesday, Sept. 26, SAD 52 Adult Ed, Turner. Participants will learn the basic components for building a budget, money tracking, goal setting, and how having a sense of overall financial situation can assist in the process of building a budget.

Your Money Personality: Wednesday, Sept. 27, FEDCAP Office, Oxford. Instructors will use a fun and unique “Money Habitudes” card sort activity to identify money management style. Developed by Syble Solomon, the process helps attendees learn how their habits and attitudes toward money affect decisions and actions related to money.

Space is first-come, first-served.
