Take control of your money this Financial Literacy Month! The first step in managing your money is creating a budget a sticking to it. This isn’t always easy when we’re constantly being exposed to advertising that convinces us to spend more. Marketing messages tell us consumption will lead to satisfaction, But the truth is, when we buy items that we don’t need or even truly want, we lose out on money, space and our happiness. Join us for a lunch-time conversation on November 19 with Gary Rusyn from the Credit Counselling Society where he will cover how to:

• Distinguish wants from needs
• Align your spending with your values
• Curb impulse spending
• Become a smart and savvy shopper
• Avoid scams and fraud
• Use your credit card to your advantage

Pizza lunch will be provided, so please let us know you are coming! Register for this event below.
