We invite you to join us on Monday, November 13, via Zoom for an exciting presentation on "Budgeting for the Holidays," featuring University of Illinois Extension Finances Educator Emily Harmon.
Budgeting, in general, can be hard, but throw in the holidays, and it can be even more stressful! According to Gallup’s preliminary reading on the 2023 holiday retail season finds Americans predicting they will spend an average of $923 on holiday gifts. That can be a tough bill to face in the new year.
In this free workshop, you will gain a better understanding of basic budgeting concepts and tools to use to help you reach your financial goals and tips to get through the season with your wallet intact.
