Money Management Course, Fermoy Education Centre, starting Sept. 2010
New Money Management Course to give tips on how to save money
A NEW course in money management and budgeting is coming to Fermoy this autumn and is aimed at helping people save money while protecting their homes and paying off creditors.
Aimed at people who deal with everyday household budgets and those who would like more control of (and return for) their weekly wage, Budgeting and Basic Money Management is an intensive 5-week course and will be run from Fermoy Education Centre, starting Monday September 6.
Ballylanders woman, Patricia O’Donnell, has been giving financial advice to people in the Avondhu region for many years and is a respected household name when it comes to giving sound advice. Her work as a Qualified Financial Advisor (QFA) in recent years has led her to see a need for such a course.
“I meet people everyday who are crying out for tips and hints on how they can save money and get their wages working more effectively. It’s been a very difficult period for everyone, employed or not, and it’s essential to make sure we are using every resource we have to keep ourselves going in these hard times.
“My experience over the many decades has led me to understand that while the years on the calendar and fashion may change, people are fundamentally the same and their needs are too. When it comes to money, people generally just want to be able to pay the bills, feed and dress themselves and enjoy their life. Money plays a big factor in that. The aim of this course is to put power back into people’s hands and give them skills that will make them effective savers and budgeters so enjoying life can be high on their ‘to-do’ lists.”
Delivering this course will see Patricia come full circle in her career which originally started out in teaching in local primary schools. In her time as a teacher, Patricia opened and ran three successful Montessori schools before returning to education in 1998 to do Credit Union studies in UCC and her final QFA exams at UCD in 2009.
The course will address issues such as budgeting, getting value for money, tax relief opportunities, understanding your entitlements, dealing with creditors, using technology to manage money and planning for the future to mention but a few. The course is limited to 15 people and costs €50 for the five nights running from September 6-October 4, 2010. The closing date for entrants is August 30, 2010. The course will also be available on podcast for participants who cannot attend. Further details are available from info@podfinancial.ie
