Show Me The Money! Financial Wellness Challenge

Carpenters Wellness Program | May 24, 2021

Is money the root of all evil or the anthem of success? Either way you look at it, money is always a part of your life, good or bad. 

A study by the American Psychological Association found that 72 percent of Americans feel occasionally stressed about money and 22 percent are extremely stressed. From the seasonal nature of our work, which also fuels the fears regarding job security, many of us are unsure about our financial futures. Did you know there are many ways to expand your budget without actually adjusting your income? Carpenters Wellness program can help.

Carpenters Wellness Program’s Show Me The Money! Financial Wellness Challenge will challenge you to complete a series of tasks, all designed to help you improve the way you view and handle money. Learn where your money goes each day, week and month. Set yourself up for financial success!

What to Expect
In this four-week workshop, you’ll receive weekly email reminders to complete the week’s assigned tasks in the Wellness Program portal. The weekly tasks are designed to help you develop the skills necessary to create improved financial security. You’ll learn to:

  • handle financial stress, 
  • establish a workable budget, and
  • understand your credit history, and even how to improve your credit score.

You will also receive tools on how to save for an essential emergency fund, plan for retirement and avoid identity theft in our world of online banking and payments. 
Engage in each of the weekly tools and tasks, complete all four weeks from the tasks within the portal and you will earn a chance to win a $50 Amazon gift card!

  3. To be entered to win a $50 Amazon gift card, you must complete all four weeks of the challenge by March 30, 2020. Important note: You will need to complete each week’s tasks within the assigned week in order to complete all tasks by the end of the challenge and be eligible for the raffle drawing. The next week’s tasks will not be released for you until all tasks from the current week are completed (new tasks are released once per week on a seven-day cycle).

Become more confident in your personal money management and spending, knowing you are preparing yourself and your family for a secure future!
