Dedicated Email: Money Smart Mamas

Filed Under Dedicated Emails, Pregnancy and Birthing | March 18, 2010

What would you be willing to do to improve your money habits, become more confident about your finances and feel more in control and on top of your money? How about taking the Moms and Money class presented by the Women’s Financial Learning Centre this April? It’ll be two and half hours of your life that will be well spent, literally and figuratively.

There’s nothing like becoming a parent to get you thinking about your financial future and the life (and lifestyle) you want to create as a family. But as well as all the juggling you’re already doing with your little one, you may also be concerned about getting by on one salary, going back to work, managing your money to allow you to meet your goals and saving for your child’s education. And when you get overwhelmed by these worries – and most new mamas do – you tend to put them on the backburner to focus on when you’re less tired, have more time, or have more money…

The women behind the Women’s Financial Learning Centre, Karin Mizgala and Sheila Walkington, are fee-only certified financial planners, which means you get unbiased financial education and expertise from people who aren’t trying to sell you investment products.
April 6th (just in time for taxes!) they’re teaming up with children’s financial literacy specialists, Ruth Kewin and Dorthe Davison, for a lively session on easy-to-use budgeting techniques to help keep you on the right financial track; why it’s important to keep your eye on your long term goals and dreams; balancing your diverse and myriad financial goals from home ownership to RESPs; tax benefits and programs for families; and when to start talking to kids about money.

It wouldn’t be a session about smart money management if you couldn’t save some, so they’ve got an exclusive offer for yoyomamas – use the code yoyomoney when you register and you’ll save $10.Register before April 1st to receive their early bird rate of $27+ GST (with coupon).
