To move beyond theory\, the course provides a roadmap for Strategic Debt Management\, teaching participants how to calculate their debt-to-income ratios and identify the warning signs of a financial “danger zone.” \nThe syllabus also covers the practical\, day-to-day use of financial tools\, specifically focusing on the Responsible Use of Credit Cards by explaining statement cycles and the mathematical pitfalls of minimum payments. Finally\, the program bridges the gap between management and growth through Future Planning\, highlighting essential banking resources\, the necessity of emergency funds\, and the steps required to prepare for major life milestones like homeownership or entrepreneurship. This course ensures that every attendee leaves with a clear understanding of how to make credit work for them rather than against them. \nYour presenters: \nCallihan Benson is the Financial Center Manager at Heartland Bank\, a Division of German American Bank\, in Pickerington.
