Things no one taught us: Financial Literacy

You asked, we listened. So many Awkward to Awesome members requested a beginner-friendly money class, and we’re finally making financial literacy a little less intimidating and a lot more approachable.

In this session, we’re learning the basics of financial literacy in a practical, approachable way. This topic is being brought to us by one of our Awkward to Awesome members who is a financial educator, and we’ll be covering some of the foundational pieces that can help you feel more informed and less intimidated by your finances.

We’ll explore:

• Proper protection and why it matters
• Debt management strategies
• Saving with more intention
• The basics of investing
• How to start making more confident financial decisions

Money can feel awkward, overwhelming, and a little embarrassing to talk about, especially when no one really taught us how to manage it. This is about learning the essentials many of us were never taught and giving yourself a stronger foundation moving forward.

Whether you feel behind, confused, avoidant, or just want to understand money better, this session will give you a place to start.
