Economic Development

1. Personal Monthly Budget - Excel budget manager

2. 52 Week Money Challenge 
Take the 52 week money challenge. Start with $1 deposited on week one and increase the dollar amount saved each week. You'll save 1,378 at the end of 52 weeks.

3. Save the Five
For information on saving your 5's, visit Marilynlogan.com
  •  The first step in this plan -- try to wean yourself off the card.
  • "So gather cash for example $100 or $200, whatever you choose and you put cash in your wallet at the beginning of the week and you make decisions based on the cash and not the card."
  • But here's the key -- as you are spending that cash -- watch for those coveted $5's and when you get one back as change -- don't spend it!

4. Money Smart - A Financial Education Program
The newly enhanced Money Smart Computed-Based Instruction (CBI) is an easy-to-use tool to learn more about basic personal financial management.

In a global community, financial literacy is very important.  The Economic Development committee strives to increase our community’s awareness of financial planning, money management, consumer education, investments, and employment opportunities with a goal of empowering people to work toward financial independence.

Some of the many projects the committee has undertaken include:

·         BAHA Pop Up Shop

·         Participation in the “Saving My $5s” financial campaign launched by Marilyn Logan, author of the book, “I Can’t Afford to             Marry You!”

·         Financial seminar for high school students

·         Financial education seminar that focused on estate planning, will writing, and Medicare

The Bay Area Houston Alumnae Chapter is also a proud supporter and participant in our local Habitat for Humanity program.  BAHA members have donated funds and contributed many build hours in conjunction with Habitat for Humanity’s “Women Build” program!
