In this webinar, we will focus on developing sustainable spending and saving skills to ensure that you can escape from financial fragility and meet your short- and long-term financial goals.

To accomplish this, we will do the following:

  1. Determine your current level of monthly spending, including understanding what is discretionary versus mandatory
  2. Determine your current level of indebtedness, along with the interest rate for each outstanding loan
  3. Create spending and saving targets to pay off your debts within an acceptable timeframe
  4. Develop spending strategies—including suspending all discretionary spending—until you’re meeting your targets
  5. Track your monthly spending and savings, debt repayments, and outstanding loan balances and adjust as necessary
  6. Repeat until you’re debt-free

The goal is to increase your financial resiliency and get you back on track.
