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.

Details:

• Free to attend
• Adults welcome
• 1-hour class

Come ready to learn, reflect, and leave with at least one clear next step you can take this week.

If you’ve ever wanted to create a clean flyer, a great-looking Facebook post, or a simple presentation slide, but didn’t know where to start, this class is for you.
