We are excited to have Ammar Askari, M&I Community Education and Joe Entwisle, National Consortium for Health Systems Development, who will be sharing all you want to know about Budgeting and Finances 101 but were afraid to ask! What is FICA anyway? Is there really a difference between gross and net income? How can I open an Individual Development Account (IDA)?
