Anxiety.  Fear.  These words capture what many Americans feel about the economy and their personal finances.  We live in a society that tells us “you deserve it now”, whether or not we can afford it or really even need it.  Join us for this  four week series, as we examine our own spending, saving and giving habits and learn how to assess your financial situation and develop a financial plan that allows you to experience the true joy that comes through simplicity and generosity.
