LCCC SIFE Personal Finance Awareness Week

Seating is limited! Registration is required.

The week of February 8th thru the 12th is Personal Finance Awareness Week at LCCC. The SIFE team has sponsored five workshops for students this week.

The SIFE team would like to encourage our students to learn how to manage their finances better so that we can avoid the pitfalls of poor debt management such as high interest rates, bankruptcy, and having to move back home with mom and dad.

Today consumers (including students) have gotten in the habit of spending more money than we make. Avoid becoming another statistic, learn how to properly keep track of your spending and stick to a budget.
