Monday, September 22nd at 6 p.m. SLT on the dock at Investing InfoIsland:
An informal discussion based on the book Women and Money, by Suze Orman. In this book Orman tries to address a difficult conclusion she had drawn: “Despite the remarkable social advancements women have made over the past four decades, very little has changed in the way women deal with money.” She analyzes the situation, as well as the traits of financially successful and secure women, then presents a five-month plan for getting you on the road toward a rewarding, functional relationship with your finances. If you need a TP, please IM Maxito Ricardo.

If you need a TP, please IM Maxito Ricardo.
