Gaining new money skills CAN be FUN!
Many adults feel they need more knowledge to safely handle their money…and when costs exceed their income month after painful month…they lose hope of ever getting ahead.
We truly understand that feeling of hopelessness. As your Money Mentors, we have all been there – check out our stories here!
Our commitment – along with many dedicated community leaders in Cowlitz County, is to give you a HELPING HAND UP…not a hand out. We will bring lots of tools and tips to the party…
BUT, you have to commit to showing up and doing the work. We’ll be there to help. If you are open and willing, you will take great strides toward a brighter financial future.
Deal?
Why do we get so messed up about money?
The simple truth about money is that most families (seriously almost every single family) have experienced at least one form of money trauma in their life. It can be any of the following:
Job Loss
Economic Recession
Divorce or Death
Illness or Injury
Lack of Education (this is a big one!)
Addiction
Etc…
Regardless of why financial challenges come our way – there is one common factor: The bills just keep on coming, right?
Add to that glitzy advertising, wanting to feel important, and let’s face it – just having nice, shiny new things…any of these can lure us right into the river of overspending – one that becomes a trap that is harder and harder to escape.
With Dollars and Good Sense, we’ll give you practical tools to help reduce your risk of overspending, help you stop drowning in debt, hopefully avoid bankruptcy and start building your financial future with hope and purpose – for you and your family!
Money Learning CAN be FUN! (Seriously)
Getting our family money goals all on the same page!
