PURPOSE:
To share and learn from folks important lessons and news about money - saving it, investing it, and how the stuff moves around the world and funds many persons aspirations. Community based, community run, community empowering :)
WHY:
Why this? Why now? Well...why not!? Having financial literacy enables and empowers a person regarding how they spend, donate, and invest in things they believe in. This community run effort, I believe, is a great way diffuse all the confusion and fear that there exists in the marketplace as well as nurture a money smart America.
Whether you want to save for a healthy and enjoyable retirement or invest in a grassroots program in a developing nation, speaking the language of money is fundamental to putting your money to work most effectively. You earned it - so use it with some skill! :)
FORMAT:
There will meetups 2-3x monthly. The agenda is generally as follows:
1) Topic explainer session (what are bonds? 401k vs Roth IRA, charitable spending, etc.)
2) Financial/business/economic news catch-up
3) Open Q&A session
