Andrea Johnson & Christine Graham of Texas OCCC: Financial Health is Peace of Mind
Lacy walks and talks with Andrea Johnson and Christine Graham in their respective Austin-area neighborhoods. Feeling in control of our finances and working toward money goals is good for our mental health! As financial educators at the Texas Office of Consumer Credit Commission (OCCC), Christina and Andrea share the top questions they get from the public around money. From building your first budget to understanding your credit report and managing debt, Christine and Andrea have the guidance and tools to get started.
You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and learn more at three webinars with Christine and Andrea in August. Topics include: Building a Budget, Credit 101, and Buying a Home. Register at no cost on ERS’ Wellness events page. Or after the webinars, watch the recordings on ERS Webinar Archives page.
