Building a Better Budget | Spring 2026

Описание: Looking to increase financial stability and prevent unwanted financial surprises? Begin by building a better budget! Realistic budgets provide “guiderails” for spending, make it possible to achieve financial goals, and encourage peace of mind.

Any good budget will take some effort to construct, and the Financial and Life Skills Center is here to help! Students can plan to schedule a free and confidential appointment with one of our financial professionals after the webinar to get all their budgeting questions answered.

In this webinar, we’ll explore:
The benefits of budgeting
The budgeting process and budgeting methods to consider
Tools and resources to help you maintain a successful budget

Host: Melanie Schramm, Education Program Specialist, Sokolov-Miller Family Financial and Life Skills Center
