Four life-changing workshops + food, drinks, and new friends!
JWI’s Financial Fitness series gathers Philadelphia women in their 20s and 30s to build financial confidence, explore their relationship with money, and discover how to reach their financial goals.
Each session will include an opportunity to connect with other Jewish women, a light dinner, wine, and an intimate conversation with a local expert. These workshops are great for people who are just starting their financial planning journeys, as well as those who are already planning for retirement. Over the four sessions, we’ll explore budgeting, salary negotiations, and investing to grow our wealth.
The sessions are scheduled for December 6th, December 13th, January 10th, and January 17th, each running from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. ET. It is $10 per class or $18 total for all four sessions.
We think getting together in person is the best, but you will be able to join live by Zoom or receive a recording if you aren’t able to attend one of the sessions in person.
What do past participants say?
“This program helped me remove a lot of shame and guilt I have felt in the past around spending money on "non essentials." It also allowed a safe space to discuss finances, helping me to feel more comfortable having conversations about money in other areas of my life, and provided ways to make budgeting seem more accessible and simple so it is realistic for me to continue with it long-term.”
“This cohort has given me the confidence to actually think about [my finances] instead of just feeling overwhelmed and shut down”
“This helped me so much with my finances. I am finally on a budget and on such great track to work my way out of debt.”
“I’ve cut my expenses down practically in half. I realized I was spending way more than I make a month and as much as I wanted to participate in certain expenses, I just can’t. So now I am paying my debt off and it feels so amazing! And also [I learned how to] control my spending!”
“I learned how to budget like a boss, how to be more aware and track my spending, how fast things add up, and how much my expenses are. I realize I have to live within my means until I decide to make more money. Very valuable lessons and so much awareness in this program!”
“[As a result of this program}, I am now actively aware of how much I have spent already, which helps me feel better about making future spending decisions. I have also developed a better plan for how much money I would like to save each month, which has started to alleviate some stress.”
