Protecting Your Money: Big Purchases & Fraud Awareness
Smart decisions today prevent financial stress tomorrow.”
Big purchases and digital risks are part of adult life—but they don’t have to feel overwhelming. This two-day workshop is designed to help you make informed financial decisions and protect yourself along the way.
Led by Financial Literacy Coach Mary Pesek, this session provides clear, real-world guidance for navigating everyday financial responsibilities. Mary’s approachable, judgment-free teaching style helps participants build confidence whether they’re preparing for their first major purchase, managing new independence, or refining skills developed over a career.
Day 1 focuses on planning for major expenses like housing and vehicles, while also covering essential consumer rights and responsibilities so you can make purchases with clarity and confidence.
Day 2 shifts to protecting yourself in a digital world. You’ll learn how to recognize common scams, prevent identity theft, and respond effectively if fraud occurs—skills that matter at every stage of life.
Because being financially smart isn’t just about earning money—it’s about protecting what you’ve worked for and planning ahead with confidence.
