“To know and not do, is to not know.” – Stephen Covey
This session will dive deeply into one of the most uncomfortable issues: Money. We need it to manage our personal lives and to feel stable, have peace of mind, and control our anxiety about the future. Our level of satisfaction in our healthcare, professional life, personal life, and legacy is often dictated by the choices we make around money. But why do so many people make poor choices? Is it really not knowing…or is it not doing? With so many smart people claiming they know what the best decisions are, how can everyone be so different? We will explore the proven elements of behavioral finance and the psychology behind hyper-individualism and how it affects our money decisions and patterns. Join us as we openly discuss the behaviors around finances and how we can make better choices. This judgement-free session will help you to view money situations from a different angle and change how you process financial information.

Ever get tired of your friends telling you what the government should do and why? Somehow, they have all the answers that only they can see with such clarity. Well…in this course we are going to dive into the gray and muddy areas of government policy and specifically how it relates to money and the economy. We will have moderated discussions on topics that influence our points of view. This will be an exciting series of conversations in an open, but moderated, respectful environment.

Part 1 (of 2) will focus on the methods that scammers use to separate us from our money and how we can recognize, avoid, and prevent these scams. Part 2 will focus on the tools we use in everyday life and how to feel safer using technology. These parts can be taken separately.
