Financial Literacy Seminar
Budgeting was the topic of the 1st Financial Literacy Seminar of the year. This monthly seminar is sponsored, staffed and developed under the capable direction of Kathleen Gower, by Berman McAeer (BMc), a wealth management company. Nearly all of the staff at BMc come in on a rotating basis throughout the year to assist in the teaching. This month Deanna Heid and Amy McAuliffe Cooper joined Kathleen serving a delicious lunch and then teaching the class.
The students learned the basics of budgeting and setting short and long term goals. For the next few class, they are to track all of their expenses – both the ones they pay for directly and that are provided for them. This will be used as a basis for the next seminar.
This is learning an essential life skill that the students take all four years at TCS with the goal of helping them make informed choices in their future financial lives. We deeply appreciate the folks at Berman McAleer for making this possible!
