The University of Illinois will begin a couple of separate financial education courses next week.

Director of the U of I Extension in Logan, Menard, and Sangamon Counties Terri Miller- Casey indicates the first series begins on April 3 and this course will focus on student loans and managing those loans.

Another course comes up on May 1 and Miller-Casey points out this course will highlight unhealthy and bad habits around our finances.

And then finally, April 10 will be a course on financial credit and the pros and cons of it. Miller-Casey explains that is the kickoff an entirely separate but equally as informative series on money.

Extension.illinois.edu will have these two courses and many others for you to participate in. Miller-Casey reminds many offerings like these are documented and posted to the Extension website so you can revisit them if you missed out when they were offered.
