About this Event

You’re not alone. Major purchases come with big emotions, big numbers, and a lot of opinions. This workshop will help you cut through the noise and make decisions you feel confident about.

You’ll learn how to avoid common traps, understand the true cost beyond the monthly payment, and use a simple framework to decide if a purchase actually fits your life and goals. We’ll walk through real-world examples including homes, vehicles, and fulfillment purchases like appliances, campers, and more.

This session is interactive, practical, and designed to help you slow down, ask the right questions, and make purchases you’ll feel good about long after the excitement wears off. Attendees will walk away with several resources to help them make confident purchases in the future.
