Learn
To
Manage What You Have With A Budget
Posted 8 March
2010
What do a
bank, sock, cookie jar, envelope and a mattress have in common? If you
said, "places where folks keep their dough," then you are right on the
money.
“Failure to manage money properly has led to an epidemic of credit debt
and bankruptcy filings,” says Erin Ludwig, Iowa State University
Extension Family Resource Management Specialist. “A good way to
avoid the credit trap is to learn tools and skills that will help you
manage your finances.”
An online, 3-hour personal financial management series will be offered
beginning April 5, 2010. The curriculum will be arranged as
follows:
Week one: This week will cover setting goals, managing unexpected
and periodical expenses, and savings.
Week two: This week will talk about tracking spending, creating a
budget, decreasing expenses and increasing income.
Week three: This final week shows different methods of tracking
spending, managing risk, managing credit, and saving for retirement.
Requirements for this class are:
1. Computer with internet access to take the
class
2. Ability to print class materials received via email
The program will meet for one hour at 12:00 noon or at 5:00 pm on
Monday, April 5, 12 and 19. If you miss one class, or would like
to review a session, you will receive information as to how to view the
recorded class. By registering, participants will receive class
materials via email as well as the web address with instructions on how
to log in.
For more information or registration forms, contact Erin Ludwig at
563-380-1475 or eludwig@iastate.edu.
