Unexpected expenses don’t always come with a warning.
Join us in person for In the Black: Money, Anxiety & Decision-Making an interactive session designed to help you feel more prepared for unexpected costs, financial challenges, and difficult money decisions.
WUSA’s previous Tax & Budget Workshop showed that practical financial guidance can make a difference. After the workshop, the share of respondents who felt knowledgeable about saving money increased from 28.6% to 71.4%, and 100% said they would recommend the workshop to another student
Building on that, this session focuses on situations that can happen in everyday life. Through practical conversations and real-life examples, you’ll explore how to deal with unexpected expenses, think through financial challenges, and make money decisions with confidence.
Whether you’re managing your own finances for the first time, dealing with debt, worried about an unexpected expense, or just want to be better prepared for whatever comes next, you’ll leave with practical tools you can use when life doesn’t go according to plan.
