When it comes to taking care of their financial future, women face unique challenges - longer lives, lower wages, less investing confidence. With knowledge and experience, women investors are as good and often better than men. This 3-part series will help women organize personal goals and financial assets; prepare for emergencies; get ready for retirement; develop an investment strategy; determine how to expand financial knowledge and make financial decisions going forward. Session 1 (SEP 30): Overview of Personal Finance from a Woman's Perspective; Session 2 (OCT 14): Begin to Take Control of Your Finances with a Personal Workbook; Session 3 (OCT 21): Learn About the Variety of Ways to Invest. Registrants should plan to attend all three sessions. Registration Required.
