PRESQUE ISLE, ME — Starting Monday, May 22, 2017 New Ventures Maine will offer My Money Works: Tools for Smart Money Choices, a free four-week class to help participants gain the skills and confidence to stretch their money, pay bills, reduce debt, save, plan for retirement and set personal financial goals.
Suzanne Senechal-Jandreau of NVM’s Presque Isle office, trainer for the class, said, “Managing your money is scary when you don’t feel in control. Regardless of how much money you have or what stage you are in your life, this class helps you find out where your dollars are going, set financial priorities, and take charge of managing your own money. Whether it’s planning for a vacation or other future goal or paying off debt, this class can help you get on the right track financially.”
My Money Works will be held Mondays from 5:30-7:30 p.m., May 22 to June 12, at the University of Maine at Presque Isle. Successful completion of this class meets one of the requirements for the Family Development Account (FDA) or the Rainy Day Savings account.
