Make Your Money Work
Budget. Save. Spend Smarter.
Join EMPOWER Series on Saturday, April 18, 2026 for an encouraging, practical, and action-focused workshop led by Chuck Burch, Financial Planner and previous EMPOWER Series speaker.
This workshop is for anyone who wants to handle money with greater confidence, clarity, and purpose. Whether you are trying to create a workable budget, save more consistently, cut back on financial stress, use credit more wisely, or simply make better everyday money decisions, this session is designed to help you take meaningful next steps.
Chuck brings a real-world, relatable approach to personal finance. His message is not about shame, perfection, or complicated financial language. It is about understanding the money habits that help people move forward, avoiding common mistakes, and making practical decisions that strengthen everyday financial life. In his previous EMPOWER Series presentation, he focused on real experiences, budgeting, saving first, tracking spending, and using credit with intention rather than casually.
You can expect a workshop that is honest, engaging, and useful — one that meets people where they are and helps them move toward where they want to be.
What you’ll gain:
- Practical strategies for budgeting in real life
- Simple ways to start or strengthen your savings habit
- Better awareness of spending decisions and money leaks
- Encouragement to use credit more wisely
- Tools and motivation to build stronger everyday financial habits
At EMPOWER Series, we provide Hope, Inspiration, Education and Connection to Resources to help people achieve their goals, and this workshop is part of that ongoing commitment to helping people thrive in every area of life through practical education and support.
