PRESQUE ISLE, Maine — Starting Thursday, Jan. 12, 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, 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.
“This is an opportune time to start the New Year on the right track financially. At the end of the class, you will have a plan in place to achieve greater financial stability,” said Senechal-Jandreau.
My Money Works will be held on Thursdays, Jan. 12-Feb. 2, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at the University of Maine at Presque Isle in Folsom Hall. A follow-up session is scheduled to provide additional networking and support. Successful completion of this class meets one of the requirements for the Family Development Account (FDA) or the Rainy Day Savings account program.
The class is open to women, men and couples of all ages and incomes. Pre-registration by Jan. 10 is required, and there is no fee.
