Simple Household Budgeting

Are you ready to finally get a handle on your household budget ?  Although many resist the process, it is not possible to achieve true financial success without a working command of your income and expenses.  The budgeting process can be done with paper, pencil and a calculator or you may bring your laptop to class and use the detailed Excel spreadsheet that will be provided (preferred).  In class #1, we'll begin to work the spreadsheet and attent to each person's individual questions.  Class #2 will be a follow-up, looking at where you're struggling to complete the process.  Tips for saving and planning for large expenses like quarterly property taxes will also be provided.  Please bring a pencil, eraser, calculator and your checkbook register.  Laptop is optional. 

This class is offered through the Melrose Adult Education Program and you must register in advance at www.cityofmelrose.org.
