This Moneytalk Academy is for couples who are engaged, recently married, or want to get their couple's financial issues on the same page. We will be learning basic financial skills and how to use these skills to bring you together, align your goals, prevent money fights, and improve your overall communication.

The format for a Moneytalk Academy workshop night is to start with general information and finish with an opportunity to apply the information to your own situation. The instructor will be available to help guide and answer questions.
