The holidays are a wonderful time for connection and celebration, but they can often leave us with a financial hangover once the decorations come down. If you’re feeling the weight of holiday spending or struggling to manage debt, the Resource Center is here to help you reset and regain control. We invite you to join us on Tuesday, January 27th for two special opportunities.
Daytime Drop-In: Your New Year Money Plan
Time: 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
Location: The Resource Center
Details: No appointment necessary. Drop-in and meet with your local Resource Center financial counselors. Our financial literacy team, Elisabeth Britt and Nick Johns, will be available all day to help you navigate post-holiday money woes.
Evening Workshop: Strategies for Managing Debt
Time: 5:30 pm – 7pm
Instructor: Richard Pearson
Location: The Resource Center
Details: Come by later and join local expert Richard Pearson as we dig into personalized strategies for tackling debt—from student loans to holiday overspending. There will be delicious snacks and drinks! In this interactive session, you will:
-
Participate in our Spending Detox and get support to start your year fresh.

Work through a mock January budget to identify “quick wins”
-
Learn and share strategies to reinforce your spending and saving skills
Whether you’re looking for a quick check-in or a deep dive into debt and spending, we look forward to seeing you there!

I’m so excited for this event! The holidays may leave our wallets feeling a little wobbly, but getting back on track doesn’t have to be gloomy. At the Resource Center, we’re all about turning financial stress into confidence — and yes, even a bit of fun.
During the daytime drop‑in, I’ll be around to help you map out your New Year money plan, talk through any post‑holiday surprises, and celebrate those small wins that make a big difference. And if you join us for the evening workshop, get ready for a lively, judgment‑free space where we’ll laugh, learn, and tackle debt together.
Paying off debt may not sparkle like holiday lights, but it can feel powerful — and we’re going to make the process a whole lot more enjoyable. I’m excited to see you there as we kick off the year with fresh energy and smarter money moves.
