At Legacy of the Dove Foundation, we are dedicated to sharing resources to assist with your Financial Health.  Our program is designed to provide multiple sessions which provide education on budgeting, goal setting and future planning.  Financial health is a key component of your overall well-being.  Whether you’re just starting to manage your finances or working to strengthen your financial foundation, we are here to guide you through each step of your financial journey.

Why Financial Health is Essential:

Day-to-day financial stability is about managing your current finances in a way that ensures you can meet your needs without stress or strain. This involves budgeting effectively, controlling spending, and planning for the unexpected. When you build a solid foundation for your day-to-day finances, you set yourself up for long-term success.

Program Highlights:

• • Maintain financial stability: Tracking your income and spending through a categorized plan.  Budget with intention i.e. still have fun but don’t overspend.  Prioritize the essential expenses.  Build an emergency fund to assist with the unexpected expenses like medical bills or car repairs.  Automate payments, when possible, set up automatic payments for recurring bills to avoid late fees and penalties.
  • Building Resilience in Achieving Long-Term Financial Goals: Set specific, measurable goals: Whether it’s saving for retirement or paying off debt, having a clear target helps you stay focused.  Make saving a habit: Set aside a portion of your income regularly for your long-term goals. Treat it like a non-negotiable expense.  Invest in your future: Explore investment options that align with your goals, such as retirement accounts, stocks, or real estate.  Review and adjust your goals: Life changes, and so do your financial circumstances. Regularly assess your progress and adjust your goals as needed.
  • Making Informed Financial Decisions for the Future: Educate yourself: Learn about basic financial principles such as saving, investing, and managing debt. Knowledge is power when it comes to making sound decisions.  Consult a professional who help guide you in making complex decisions, such as retirement planning, investing, or tax strategies.  Always evaluate how your decisions today will affect your financial future. Will taking on more debt today affect your ability to reach long-term goals?

Creating a Balanced Financial Life

Maintaining financial health isn’t about avoiding mistakes or achieving perfection. It’s about taking control of your financial journey, setting realistic goals, and continuously adapting as you learn more. With the right mindset, tools, and strategies, you can create the financial stability and resilience you need to achieve your dreams—both in the short-term and for the future.
