This is a bonus episode about a great project that’s been running since March, with workshops still available during September, October & November, 2019.

It’s called Own Your Own Financial Future – a project dedicated to empowering women over 55 to build confidence in financial decision making.

These are free workshops geared towards women who’ve never been involved in managing their own finances and investments.

They are being run by the Australian Shareholders Association. Fiona Balzer from the ASA is my guest in the next episode, but I think it’s worthwhile releasing our discussion as a separate story. It is worth thinking about the particular challenges faced by women in this category.

So if you find that any of this resonates with you, or if you know someone who would benefit, find out more at https://australianshareholders.com.au/fin-lit-project

Places are available for workshops in Sydney, Wollongong, Newcastle, Adelaide, Mt Gambier, Bathurst, Dubbo, Katoomba, North Coast NSW, Armidale & Tamworth. My apologies to listeners outside these areas but it may be worth a listen. It will get you thinking about you and your loved ones.

• cut through finance and investing jargon
• understand a financial plan
• clarify options for managing your super
• help you discuss your financial goals
• check that your estate is in order
• learn how to source and engage with a professional adviser
