SEVCA Workshop: Your Money & You: Personal Finance Basics

Do you know where all your money is going? Would it feel better to have your money work for you? It is always easy to spend money, but keeping track of rising costs is difficult. These are some of the topics we will discuss to help gain understanding ofhow we can manage money and not have money manage us. Join SEVCA’s Financial and Energy Coach, Kevin O’Brien at a free workshop Monday April 10, to gain a clearer picture of your money management opportunities.

The financial world is confusing and often predatory, but there are tools we can use to understand how to make the system work for us. We will review some of these tools and talk about current rebate and incentive programs that can help to lower monthly costs. Additional topics will include the basics of loans, credit score and credit reports, and understanding how to protect your personal information plus what to do if someone steals your identity.

The workshop will be held on April 10th from 6:00-8:00 pm in-person at the Brooks Memorial Library in the upstairs meeting room, as well as on-line. SEVCA’s Financial and Energy Coach is supported through the Green Saving Smart program, which is guiding Vermonters to a sustainable financial future.
