​We'll also be giving away a few copies of Rose's new book, Add a Zero, to attendees tuning in live!

​Most designers think a bigger paycheck = financial freedom. And that's wrong. In this live session with our friend, Rose Han, we'll break down:

• ​How to start investing from your very first paycheck

• ​Stocks, index funds, 401Ks, and IRAs explained (without the jargon and mansplaining)

• ​Negotiating raises + promotions to boost your income

• ​How to stop being just a pixel pusher and start thinking like an owner

• ​Passive income ideas for creatives (courses, products, SaaS, IP)

• ​Biggest money mistakes to avoid in your 20s

• ​FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) planning — and finding your FIRE number

• ​Answering your questions
