Everyone’s got economic woes these days, whether you’re figuring out ways to stretch a dollar in NYC or save for your kid’s college (rather, preschool). You don’t want to discuss it with your BFF, but how about a room full of likeminded women?
Join Simply Money, a new women-only money group led by financial advisor Gaila Gichon. A weekly Monday evening meeting (monthly sessions begin tonight) focuses on setting realistic goals and sharing inspiring stories, as well as money management lessons, deciphering economic news and problem-solving exercises. Sessions are led by Gichon or a colleague like MSN columnist M.P. Dunleavy. Don’t worry — you won’t have to disclose how much you’ve got in the bank, but you will need an open mind.
Hopefully the initial investment ($40/month, with a three-month minimum to start — discount if you sign up with a friend) will be the first of many more prosperous ones.
