Siegel continued, “We are going to teach people that by simply investing a small amount of money and some of their time, they can save $25 – $100 a month. These classes will benefit all people whether they own a home or rent, have a lot of money in the bank, or live on a tight budget.”
Pre-registration is required: Contact OnTrack WNC at 828-255-5166 ext 3. If possible, please bring 12 months of utility bills to review during class.
