Personal Finance 101: Building Wealth Through Smart Investing (Online Session, WMN& Members Only)
Two out of three women have no investments. Only 7% of women feel very comfortable investing, and that number didn't rise with income. This isn't just about money. It's about confidence and access.
This workshop is how we make it happen. We're thrilled to invite Laura Wong, Product Manager at Datamaran, to lead a hands-on workshop on personal finance and passive investing designed especially for you.
🔥 What to expect:
In this session, you'll learn the fundamentals that will empower you to take control of your financial future. We'll explore essential concepts like ETFs, compound interest, the time value of money, and the FIRE movement (Financial Independence, Retire Early).
Beyond theory, you'll work through identifying your own financial goals and designing a realistic plan with specific dates, amounts, and tangible milestones. Laura will also share her own personal finance journey and how she's building towards retiring within the next 6-10 years.
This session is for women who are ready and excited about taking their first step toward investments. This is a beginner-friendly session, and absolutely NO financial experience or knowledge is required. Our goal is to create a welcoming environment where you can feel comfortable asking questions among other members.
✨ What you'll get out of joining this session:
Step-by-step instructions on how to make your first investment
A financial future plan with clear goals, timelines, and numbers
Understanding of passive investing fundamentals and which tools to use
Practical knowledge of how to invest independently and confidently
Real-world insights from Laura's personal journey toward financial independence
