Preparing for Life’s Financial Storms

In this Tuesday, Dec. 1 Essex Library Zoom workshop, Faye Griffiths-Smith from the UConn Financial Extension Program will discuss steps participants can take now to be better prepared to deal with life events that may impact their financial security. Some of the topics addressed will include financial resilience, dealing with a variety of different situations such as unexpected expenses, income reductions, severe weather preparedness, as well as the importance of saving, and some possible options to consider.

Faye Griffiths-Smith will also share a resource list with participants on Dec. 1 at 2 p.m. The Essex Library will also offer a five-part financial literacy education series with Griffiths-Smith beginning in January.

This workshop will be held on Zoom. It is free and open to the public. Advance registration is required. For more information or to register, call the Essex Library at 860-767-1560 or visit www.youressexlibrary.org.
