MONEY MOVES
From Birth to Earth, money rules our daily lives. We need to constantly enhance our understanding of finances and embrace our relationship with money so that it enhances our lives, not control it.
Join us in a variety of sessions where we cover the history of financial policy in America, dissect the financial concepts you need to know and behaviors you need to follow no matter where you are on your money journey, and discuss funky finances along with ways to finesse your net worth.
