Budgeting class at library offering youth reality check

Good money management skills are something that will always have value, and it's never too early to learn.

That's why the Monroe Library is hosting a free budgeting class for youths called Budgeting with Reality Check. The class takes place from 6-7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 27. Ruth Ridgeway from the Boeing Employees Credit Union will instruct youths 15-24 years of age on different budget-related topics, including income, fixed expenses and short- and long-term financial goal.

"This presentation is designed to teach high school students and emerging adults the ins and outs of creating and sticking to a budget,GÇ¥ said Adult/Teen Librarian Emily Felt.-á
