Get Money Smart

Some economists think the economy might show signs of significant recovery as soon as June, but it's going to take some time for people's finances to recover. Budgets, savings, and a healthy credit report are all topics of great interest these days. In light of this, The R.M. Watts Center and Pueblo Bank & Trust are presenting a series of Money Smart classes at Pueblo West Library over three consecutive Tuesday evenings in June.

  • To Your Credit on June 9th at 6pm will cover credit reports, the purpose, how it is used, order and read a copy, and identify ways to build and repair credit history.
  • Money Matters on June 16th at 6pm will focus on daily spending habits, preparing a personal spending plan or budget, and identify ways to decrease spending and increase income.
  • Pay Yourself First on June 23rd at 6pm will explore saving, why it is important, identifying savings goals and options, and determine the best options to reach goals.

To register for one or more class, call 719-562-5667 or email Cindy.Shimizu@pueblolibrary.org or stop by Pueblo West Library.
