As we experience changes in our lives, whether in our jobs, family, or community, so our financial situation also changes. Thankfully, there are people and resources available to help us in navigating these changes. At PIE, we would like to remind you of simple steps that you can take toward reviewing your finances. Below are some resources that may be useful to you if you are looking at your financial situation, whether you need help reviewing your bills or wanting to learn more about saving:
- Contact a financial counselor for financial advice. Boulder County Personal Finance Program
- Attend a virtual financial workshop at Workforce Boulder County
- Visit MySmartMoney, brought to you by United Way Worldwide and The SunTrust Foundation.
Aligning with SunTrust Bank’s larger goal of creating a movement to overcome financial stress in the United States, the SunTrust Foundation is committed to helping people start along their path to financial confidence.
- Participate or view a town hall with America Saves and update your savings plans:
- "Simple Strategies To Help You Save
- The "#ThinkLikeASaver: How Do I Pay Off Debt?" virtual town hall, to be held on Thursday, November 5th at 2 pm ET, will answer questions like ‘Where do you start and how do you prioritize?' and ‘How exactly does paying off debt save me money?’
We hope that these are helpful tools as you take the next step in taking care of your finances, which is a step in caring for yourself and those around you.
