Odessa College Continuing Education will host a free community enrichment class, How to Adult 101: Financial Skills for Real Life, on Saturday, November 14, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in the Lecture Hall, Room 128, of Gregory Williams Hall. The class will provide participants with practical financial knowledge to help them make informed decisions about managing their money.

Presented in partnership with Whitley Penn, LLP, the session will be led by a local Certified Public Accountant (CPA) who will share real-world financial advice on topics that impact everyday life.

Participants will learn about understanding credit scores, creating and maintaining household budgets, using credit cards responsibly, avoiding common credit card traps, and understanding the differences between W-2 and 1099 employment. The session will also include an open question-and-answer period, giving attendees an opportunity to ask questions and receive guidance from a financial professional.

The class is part of Odessa College's Community Enrichment program, which offers lifelong learning opportunities designed to provide valuable skills, personal development, and practical education to residents throughout the Permian Basin.

The event is free and open to the community. Those interested in attending are encouraged to register in advance by visiting the OC Continuing Education registration page.
