Managing Your Money series starts soon in Front Royal and New Market

Virginia Cooperative Extension will offer a six-session “Managing Your Money” series in two locations beginning in mid-May. The Front Royal classes will be held at the Warren County Community Center, 538 Villa Avenue, Front Royal, from 6-8 p.m. weekly on Mondays beginning May 16th. The New Market classes will be held at the New Market Town Hall, 9418 John Sevier Road, New Market, from 6-8 p.m. weekly on Tuesdays, beginning May 17th. The series is designed to help people take control of their personal finances.

Topics for the sessions include personal finances, understanding credit, developing a spending and savings plan, traditional and non-traditional banking, insurance and recordkeeping, and getting out of debt. Each session will include a list of “Action Steps” to help participants apply what they learn to their own financial situation. Extension Agent Karen Poff says of the program, “This series is not just for folks who may be struggling with their finances. Anyone who wants to reach a financial goal such as buying a car, paying for college, owning a home, or saving for retirement can benefit from taking steps to improve their money management.”

The registration fee for the series is $20.00, which covers a notebook and materials for all six sessions. Scholarships to cover the registration fee are available for anyone who needs one.
