Money and marriage don’t make the best roommates at times. Forbes revealed that finances are the cause of 37% of divorces.  To combat such statistics, Laramie County Community College is offering a free course on marriage and money. 

"From Me to We: A Finance Class for Couples" is offered from 6-7 p.m. Sept. 19 at no cost at the Albany County Campus in Laramie. The class will focus on strategies for successful financial communication and decision-making within relationships.
