Short Reads Social: Is good financial advice finally accessible? (Apr 9th)
Details
Sick of making small talk at networking events or meetups? Looking to have more deep conversations with strangers but don't have the time to commit to a book or philosophy club?
Introducing Short-Read Socials! It's the same as any other networking event/social, we provide a topic and some prompting questions to get people started. This month's topic is financial advice. Who are we trusting for financial advice? How does the financial advice popular now compare to that of the past?

How does it work?
- The event is pretty casual, where you can talk to anyone there with or without our prompt sheets.
- If you've read/watched/heard anything related to the topic of the month, feel free to bring it in! Not necessarily physically, but you can if you want...
- If not, here are some thought-provoking reads to start you off (read as many or as few as you want):
- Should Kids Really Learn About Getting Rich?
- Beware the Bro-Economy
- The History of Financial Advice (pages 7-22 focus on the financial advice history portion)
- This ‘Wall Street Girly’ Wants to Make Wealth More Accessible
- What YouTube Hustle Gurus are Really Selling You
- Feel free to post other recommendations in the comments!

Finally, Short Read Socials have a 'pay what you can' policy. They'll always be free to attend--but if you've been having a good time with us and want to pass along a couple of bucks to help cover Meetup platform costs for future events, there is a contribution bucket on the table that night and a Paypal link :)
