New Year, New Opportunity to Gain Control of Personal Finances

This is the time of year when we begin cleaning out our closets and getting organized for the year to come. There’s also no better time to make sure our personal finances are in order.  On today’s episode of Your Money, Your Matters, we will discuss creating a budgeting and offer tips on how to stick with it; we’ll talk about goal setting, tracking expenses, paying off debt, saving money, and much more.

Broadcasting every Tuesday from 11 a.m. to noon CDT, Your Money, Your Matters features radio personalities Linda Webb-Manon and Rick Grady, Cornerstone Credit Union League; Courtney Moran, Cornerstone Credit Union Foundation, and Todd Mark, Consumer Credit Counseling Services. Each week, the four discuss financial issues of most importance to consumers.

On today’s episode, we will be joined by Jill Pharr, executive director of the Friends of Consumer Freedom. Pharr will challenge listeners to set a savings goal of $1,000 for 2014, and she will offer tips on how to meet this savings goal, as well as what to do with the $1,000 once the savings goal has been met.
