July: Great Single Mom Meeting!


What a great meeting!

Lynette Dewberry spends her days as a professional in the financial industry. But on last Thursday evening, she was an advocate for financial readiness in the lives of Kansas City single moms. Lynette generously took time from her busy schedule to share valuable insights to help single moms conquer money barriers in their lives.

Lynette Tip: Careful of Emotional Spending

Emotional spending is part of most everyone’s life. Emotions play a significant role in our interactions, relationships and parenting styles. In their proper context, emotions contribute to the excitement and spontaneity of life. In extremes, the same emotions can contribute to mayhem and chaos, especially in our finances. Lynette encouraged single moms to think critically about emotional purchases to avoid creating problems later.

Lynette Tip: Give and You’ll Get

The law of attraction is an often overlooked principle of life. Lynette reminded us that the more we give, the more we receive. She also modeled this spiritual truth by giving amazing gifts to moms at the meeting. A beautiful jewelry set and a few sets of movie tickets were among the give-a-way items at the Sisters Helping Sisters Single Mom Empowerment Group.

Thank you, Lynette, for providing practical, useful tips and advice at the Plaza Library. Because of you, we are all better able to track spending trends, develop savings strategies and plan for future financial security.

We appreciate you for donating your personal time and resources. We will see you again soon!

  1. I agree with Lynette, good tips!
    Managing money can become overwhelming without a budget. Staying organized and informed by monitoring spending and income. Staying on budget can be as simple as using coupons and watching grocery store ads. Make a list of all your expensives and see if there is somewhere you can cut costs.
