[Talk Tuesdays] Personal Finance for Generous People
Details
Happy holidays! One of the biggest challenges when it comes to effective giving is finding a happy medium between one's long-term financial and altruistic goals. Rebecca Herbst, creator of Yield & Spread, has some ideas on building a financial plan that can most help you... and the world. Join EA Philly's "Talk Tuesdays" watch party and small group discussion, featuring Rebecca's talk "Personal Finance for Generous People"
---How comfortable are you with your financial plan? Do you have an idea of when you would actually be able to retire? How well-informed is your investment strategy? These are important questions about financial wellbeing, especially for those in the Effective Altruism community that have taken a giving pledge or are making giving a meaningful part of their lives.
EVENT FORMAT:
After a <5min introduction, the featured talk and/or Q&A (15-40min) will be shown over Zoom. Afterward, attendees will be divided into a series of rotating small discussion groups to chat about the session content. Optional discussion prompts will be provided to keep the conversation flowing.
Open to -- Everyone! Though certain talks may be more "advanced" than others, Talk Tuesdays are geared towards a general audience who are eager to explore EA-related topics with an open mind.
