Description: Moneytalk Academies are a 6-week series of financial literacy sessions centered around a specific focus or topic. Money fights and money problems are a large part of the reason for divorce in many cases. The “Couples Academy” focuses on teaching the couple how to use the financial tools as communication tools, how to use money management to prevent fights, as well as get and stay on the same page, and grow as a couple. We only spend a small amount of time learning how to create the tools (such as a budget), the focus is on the next step: learning how to use the tools. The 6 week program series includes: aligning your vision and goals, credit reports and combining debts, budgeting as a communication tool, creating a budget you can both stick to, managing your bank accounts, and recap, wrap-up, and graduation. This series begins Tues, May 11th and runs through June 15th. Registration is for the entire series. Submitted by: Teresa McGarry Moneytalk Financial Foundations
