FRONT ROYAL – Virginia Cooperative Extension is offering a six-lesson “Managing Your Money” series to help participants take control of their personal finances. The series will be offered in Front Royal on Tuesdays beginning February 27th, provided enough participants sign up to take the class series. All sessions will be from 6 to 8 p.m. The cost for the entire series is $15.00, which can be waived by receiving a scholarship voucher from a participating community services agency.

Topics for the series include: personal finances, understanding credit, developing a spending and savings plan, traditional and non-traditional banking, and insurance and record-keeping. The sixth lesson on Getting Out of Debt is optional. Each session will include a list of “Action Steps” to help participants apply what they learn to their own money management situation. The series has a flexible format, with the option of mixing and matching classes in different locations. Sessions are held at multiple times and locations during the year throughout the Northern Shenandoah Valley. When people have attended sessions one through five, they will receive a certificate of completion. Extension Agent Karen Poff says of the program, “The format of this series allows participants the opportunity to take the classes at their own pace, to easily make up missed sessions, and to meet the requirements some organizations have for financial education.”
