Over the past several months I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to work for an incredible company; GoGirl Finance. GoGirl Finance was founded by Caryn Effron in the hopes of getting women talking about money.
Finances have got to be one of the most difficult things to discuss. As women we talk about almost everything – childbirth, raising kids, relationships – and often money is just a tough topic to broach. But it’s so important.
Last Monday GoGirl Finance held its first live event at the fabulous Warren-Tricomi Salon on Madison Avenue, co-hosted by personal finance expert Manisha Thakor. It was a night of beauty and conversation about financial health. Manisha is one of those people who has an easy way about her, and is able to address tough topics in a manner that’s just so accessible.
Over the course of the evening, she spoke about some of the things that are relevant to women of all ages; money and relationships, saving for the future, estate planning and insurance, and what to do if you’re self-employed. I loved how she was able to put planning into perspective – her philosophy is that by taking care of your money, you’re respecting yourself. And when the “financial” part of your life is in order, it’s easy to achieve “MoneyZen” – “a simple path to find financial peace of mind”.
For a full recap of the event, hop on over to GoGirl Finance, or check out these posts by some of the other fabulous bloggers who attended this event: Glamamom, A Mommy In the City, Ramshackle Glam, Mommy Delicious, and Momtrends.
A big thanks to Manisha for opening my eyes to some of those oh-so-important financial topics.
Being money saavy is sexy!
