Personal Financial Management Instructional 3 Hour Course

Your money is managing you if:

  • You don’t follow a monthly budget
  • You are at or nearing the credit limit on your cards
  • You are unsure of how much you owe

Whether you have filed for bankruptcy, you are experiencing money problems, or you want to prevent any future money problems, our Financial Fitness course will help get you back on track.

  • Registration is required prior to attending.
  • Class fees for the Financial Fitness course are on a sliding fee scale based on household income. Financial assistance may be available to those who qualify.
  • Sessions are offered evenings & Saturdays


Catholic Social Services is approved to issue certificates evidencing completion of a personal financial management instructional course in compliance with the United States Bankruptcy Code. Approval does not endorse or assure the quality of a Provider ’s services.

Here’s what some of our participants are saying:
“I learned many things I didn’t know about!”

“Thank you - this is information that can be used in every day living.”

“This class was very fun, informative and relevant to my life and needs. I learned a lot and enjoyed the class interaction.”

“Very enjoyable. Took a lot of stress away by sharing with others. Much better than ‘pre-counseling’ I received on the phone from another agency. ”
