As we begin a new year, we are all thinking about finances.  I am excited to anounce that Charu Raheja will be our guest speaker Monday night at the NAPW Local Chapter Meeting that starts at 6:30pm (2900 Hartley Rd brick building just past The Stellar Group Main Bulding on the right). 

Introduction to your financial health

 In this section, we discuss the basic necessary components to achieve your financial health. We will learn how the value of money changes over time and how making investments can help you secure your future. We will also discuss basic financial securities such as stocks and bonds, and I will make some recommendations on how to get started on saving for your future.

We will conclude with about a 30 min. question and answer session where you will have the opportunity to ask questions that are specific to your needs.

 In addition, Charu also recommends the following guide:

Standard & Poor's Guide to Money and Investing(paperback; 1st edition; Oct 2005)
This is a great, easy to read guide to help you with the everyday financial jargon, and the workings of the financial markets. this book will help you get comfortable with terms and concepts commonly used in business. The sections on stocks and bonds are particularly relevant and interesting for you to start your basic financial knowledge.
