Upcoming virtual webinar led by our Financial Education Team (recording will be available)
Ever get to the end of the month and wonder where the money actually went? You’re not alone, and it’s one of the most common money stressors we hear about. 💚
Our Financial Education Team is hosting a free webinar on Tracking Income & Expenses to help you build a clear, practical picture of your money habits. You’ll learn how to:
- Spot all your income sources, not just your paycheck
- Tell the difference between fixed and variable expenses
- Notice spending patterns before they become a problem
We’ll also walk through simple tracking methods (spreadsheet, app, or good old pen and paper) so you can pick what actually fits your life.
