Alisa Reiss, owner of Reiss Financial Freedom, will be presenting a series of workshops at the Oneida County Library from February through April.  Her mission includes “empowering individuals to challenge the status quo and find the power within themselves to overcome their personal financial obstacles, take charge of their money, and become the person they are meant to be.”

The first of these workshops will be held today (Thursday February 13) at 6:00 p.m. at the Library, and will cover the topic of Budgeting.  There is no charge for any of the classes, so that’s a first step toward financial responsibility!

Reiss herself explains: “Are you tired of being in debt?  Are you tired of being afraid to answer your phone for fear of who might be on the other end?  Does the thought of retirement fill you with dread because you know you’re not ready for it?  Come spend six evenings with me!  We will address all of these topics…and more!  We will learn the strategies to get out of debt, save for an emergency, and be ready for retirement.  If you are ready to take back control of your money, come be a part of a group of very smart people and take back your power!”

Reiss recommends making a day night of the workshops, and bringing a spouse, significant other, or even a friend.  Upcoming topics include the importance of an emergency fund, paying off debt using the snowball method, retirement and investing, paying for a child’s college, and wise spending.

Future classes will also be held at 6:00 p.m. on Thursdays at the Library.
