Personal Finance & Home Budgeting
with Tina Goodman
Money stress is common—but it doesn’t have to be permanent.
This free, one-hour class is designed for adults who want simple, practical tools to better manage their money, reduce financial stress, and feel more confident about everyday financial decisions. You don’t need a background in finance, and you don’t need to have everything figured out—just a willingness to start where you are.
We’ll talk honestly about personal responsibility and smart decision-making without judgment or jargon. Topics include building a realistic household budget, understanding where your money actually goes, breaking the cycle of credit card debt, saving for the future, and developing habits that support long-term financial stability. The focus is on common-sense strategies you can apply immediately.
This is not a sales pitch and not an advanced investing course. It’s a practical, down-to-earth conversation about money—how to use it intentionally, how to avoid common traps, and how small changes can lead to real progress over time.
