Down to Earth Finance/Simply Money

Simply Money is a women-only weekly money group designed to help you reach your financial goals. It is like Weight Watchers for money! Here's how the group works: * Set a goal. At the first meeting, attendees set a realistic goal for themselves, then each week check in with the group on their progress. By sharing individual goals and status reports, the group creates a dynamic momentum that's not only contagious but also inspiring. * Learn. Each meeting includes a specific lesson on managing money like spending smarter, credit reports, mutual funds, retirement plans, financial advisers, wills, life insurance and improving your money habits. * Exercise. Each week, we also work attendees minds with an engaging exercise designed to educate them about money and finance. Who knew taking control of your money could be so much fun? Monday night will become your favorite night of the week! See below to read the rave reviews of past graduates. "Galia and her team provide not only their expertise but also, and perhaps more importantly, the necessary tools with which to reach your financial goals. This is a transformative financial fitness workshop that every woman, especially entrepreneurs, should take." Catherine Brophy, www.thefengshuidetective.com Our goal is to quash the myth that talking about money is taboo. It's liberating. It's educational. It's running/yoga/pilates for your bank account. What's happening to our economy--and to our portfolios--is scary, but Simply Money is a way to stay focused and in control while learning about healthy money habits and building relationships. So many of us never talk about money, but in this crucial time it's important to understand the issues, talk about your fears and come up with a plan to emerge on top. At Simply Money, we'll talk about everything from how to make attendee's money go further in the city and ways to plug their budgets, to finding mutual funds and determining asset allocation. And attendees don't have to reveal any personal information or buy any products. We're completely independent. Our goal is to quash the myth that talking about money is taboo. It's liberating. It's educational. It's running/yoga/pilates for your bank account. Simply Money. It's time to talk about one more thing.
