Take Control Over Your Financial Life

No, sir, I have no experience but I’m a big fan of money. I like it, I use it, I have a little. I keep it in a jar on top of my refrigerator. I’d like to put more in that jar. That’s where you come in.

If you’re in New York, there’s a great workshop on Monday September 27th about how to get your finances in order. Financial matters can feel overwhelming to a lot of people (or just boring). For people who freelance or who work in media, money can be even more fraught — we typically aren’t salaried, we often live paycheck to paycheck, we have to negotiate rates and contracts, and our monthly income can be highly volatile. This workshop focuses specifically on the challenges that women in media face, and offers tools to organize your financial life.

The event is Monday, September 27, 7pm-9-pm, at Hive 55, 55 Broad St in Manhattan. The details:

Do you want to take charge of your personal finances but find the topic of money boring or overwhelming? Then this event is for you.

Personal finance expert Manisha Thakor has designed this presentation to help women in media (freelancers too) put ourselves in the driver’s seat of our financial lives. Good personal finance habits do not have to be complicated, and Manisha will demystify money with this talk. Specifically she will discuss:

* Earning money: Best practices for negotiating contracts
* Spending money: Simple tools for budgeting and managing your monthly expenses on a volatile income stream
* Saving & investing: Common myths about savings and how to (literally) invest like the best using low cost mutual funds
* Protecting yourself: How to handle those tricky cash and coupling issues

It sounds like a great event, and it’s only $5. Register here.
