Making Ends Meet Together

Many families fight over money. That's because everyone has their own ideas about how to save it or spend it. To avoid financial battles, and to help your family plan for a secure future or even an emergency, this workshop walks you through the steps involved in creating a simple budget. The budget gives your family a valuable tool for deciding how to save and how to spend — whether you’re together or apart. The workshop will explain:

• Various viewpoints about money
• The value of record-keeping and setting financial goals
• How and why you should create and stick to a budget
• Why it's important to "pay yourself first"
• Advantages and pitfalls of credit cards, and what compounded interest means
