Super Exciting, Happy, Happy, Good Times Budgeting Workshop

Materials


We have volunteers providing a special series on budgeting. The first half of each session will be lessons and the second is for hands-on budget outlining. We are providing links and resources here. Please remember that this class is provided by volunteers and any advice is only a suggestion.


The main goals of our class is to help you learn to live within your means, help you achieve your goals, and plan for retirement. If you cannot make it to the classes and would like help, please reach out to Nick at the church office (307) 733-3706 and maybe you can work out a time to meet one on one!
