Basics of Budgeting and Saving

The Basics of Budgeting and Saving

As Wisconsin public school employees adjust to reduced take home pay, having a written budget is more important than ever. A budget gives you control over your finances. It empowers you to set and reach financial goals, helps you manage day-to-day finances and prepare for the unexpected. A budget also gives you permission to spend and allows you to set the course for your financial future.

You will learn:

• The benefits of a written budget
• How to create a working budget
• To evaluate your income and read your pay stub
• How to categorize and reduce your expenses
• Tips for managing your debt
• Why saving for your future is necessary and possible even now.

Spouses/partners welcome.

Snacks and refreshments will be provided.
