Financial wellness starts with understanding how you think about money and why you spend the way you do. Triangle Family Services’ certified financial counselors offer free, confidential, judgment-free guidance to help you build a road map for the financial journey ahead.
Budgeting and Spending Habits
Do you ever wonder why you spend the way you do? Feel stuck in a spending or shopping cycle you can’t break? Have trouble sticking to a budget at the grocery store? Our counselors help you understand your spending habits and build a budget you can actually follow. Learning to tell needs from wants makes every money decision easier, from the grocery store to a big purchase.
Emergency Savings
Car repairs, braces and other unexpected expenses happen to all of us. An emergency fund is money set aside only for true emergencies. Our workshops focus on helping you start one and keep building it.
Living on a Fixed Income
Moving from a regular paycheck to a fixed income, whether in retirement or after a life change, takes adjustment. Our counselors help you set up a budget that works on your new income.
Debt and Credit
We can review your credit report with you, explain your options for paying down debt, and help you take steps to rebuild your credit.
Housing Counseling
As a HUD-approved agency, TFS offers housing counseling and is a member of the National Foundation for Credit Counseling.
Getting Back on Track
Life happens to all of us. When it does, sometimes we have to stop, focus on what we can control, and reroute. Our financial curriculum combines budgeting with connections to community resources to help you get ahead. It’s never too late to start.
Who We Serve: individuals and families across the greater Triangle. You don’t need to be in another TFS program.
