Spotlight Series: Anderson County

Our continuing "Spotlight Series": Anderson

Cooperative Extension Service provides a range of educational programing and activities to support the well-being of Kentuckians. One good example is Anderson County where a program was developed and taught by the Family and Consumer Sciences agent to twelve families in the county called "Dollars and Sense for Women." The program emphasized calculating assets, managing credit, reducing debt, and record keeping. Participants indicate they now track daily spending habits, prepare a monthly spending plan or budget, identify ways to decrease spending, increase income, and use budgeting tools that will help them manage their money.
