Brush up on money man- agement skills while finding out about a matched savings program called the Individual Development Account (IDA). IDAs are matched savings accounts that build the finan- cial management skills of Oregonians with lower incomes while they save toward a defined goal. Use an IDA to save for col- lege, buy a home, pay for needed home repairs, start or expand a business or acquire work-related training or equipment. For every dollar saved, three more dollars are added from state and local funds. This course fulfills one of the training require- ments for the IDA. Come join others in a com- fortable interactive setting to learn ways to spend less and save more. Learn the difference between a credit report and a credit score — and how to build credit. Sharpen your awareness about where your money is going and how to be more in control of your finances. This course is open to all community members, free of charge, with the help of United Way of Lane County. Four 2.5-hour class ses- sions will be held at LCC, 3149 Oak St. in Florence.
