Sometimes, no matter how hard we work, managing money and planning for the future is difficult. The constant shifts in the economy make it increasingly so. Rising costs of living hit families and communities of color hardest. Upticks in prices for bread, flour, medicine, food, rent or mortgage, childcare, and clothing make it hard to make ends meet and save for emergencies and retirement. Yet, those in communities of color must often search for information and resources that supports their ability to make money-management decisions that best meet their needs. Whether you are struggling to budget for the basics or are living in greater comfort, Thrive Cooperative wants you to have access to information and resources that can support you as you think about how to best manage your money and finances so that you can live your best life today and in the future.
