Woodbine Community Organization Financial Fitness TN

Do payday loans seem attractive until it is time to pay them off? Are you inundated with seemingly appealing offers for credit from banks or retail stores? Do you have a clear understanding of your current financial situation? Are you meeting your saving goals for emergencies or retirement?

Our financial system is increasingly complex and difficult to navigate. It is now designed so that it is very easy to overextend credit and not properly save for emergencies or to build wealth for the future. Our Financial Fitness class is a guide to spending, credit, and savings–enhancing your ability to manage your finances.

Woodbine’s Financial Fitness Class

Our class provides participants with:

  • Greater understanding of their current financial situation

  • The awareness to track current credit, saving, and budgeting behaviors

  • Successful spending plans

  • Emergency savings strategies

  • Actually changing unwanted financial behaviors

  • The knowledge to avoid high-risk or predatory loans

  • The tools to build wealth for retirement (e.g. IRA information)

Gain Control of Your Finances and Eliminate Debt

Many Nashville-area families and individuals are preyed upon by businesses that are trying to make money and do not care about their clients’ well-being. Some community members are harmed by businesses like car dealerships or mortgage companies that run multiple credit checks or offer high-risk loans.

In some cases, this can destroy financial dreams for many years to come. Woodbine Community Organization classes provide unbiased information to eliminate debt and avoid predatory lending so participants can protect their own best interests, while meeting their financial goals.

Where to Begin

Having a good understanding of your current financial situation and tracking your current behavior is extremely important to avoiding common financial pitfalls. Our Financial Fitness class helps mid-Tennessee families gain control over their finances and assists in making informed, low-risk financial decisions that shape spending, saving, and budgeting behaviors.

The Financial Fitness class meets monthly for an hour and a half. Many participants take this class before moving onto other Woodbine Community Organization programs, such as the homebuyers club after they have the tools to eliminate debt and build wealth.

What our customers are saying

I highly recommend Woodbine

I approached Woodbine because I was upside down with my home payment and needed some honest advice. Woodbine helped me by informing me about a recent program design to help homeowner in my situation. The result was we were able to get $30,000 in assistance for my home. I found the experience very beneficial, I learned a lot about not only my financial situation but, finances in general. I would highly recommend Woodbine to anyone seeking an understanding and/or assistance for their home
