For Immediate Release
United Way of the Dutchess-Orange Region
Workshop on February 2 will focus on how to navigate household finances, prevent identity theft, and avoid becoming a victim of scams and fraud.
POUGHKEEPSIE & NEWBURGH, NY — You probably won’t be surprised to hear that, according to a recent report by Salary Finance, rising prices are eating away at most Americans’ standard of living. The report goes on to say that “As inflation pressures continue, two-thirds of working adults said they are worse off financially than they were a year ago.”
If you are feeling the pinch or losing sleep over how to make ends meet, you may be interested in attending a free, online Financial Literacy Workshop on Thursday, February 2, co-sponsored by Ulster Savings Bank and United Way of the Dutchess-Orange Region. Matthew Agor, a banking veteran of over 14 years with Ulster Savings Bank and working in the Newburgh branch for 7 years, will be the presenter. The workshop is entitled Navigating Household Finances and the topics to be addressed include “Ten Rules for Personal Finance,” “Money Conversations – Talking Money 101,” “Banking in a Covid-19 World,” and “Corona Virus Scams.”
