SUMMARY:Your Financial Headstart - A No-Cost Money Workshop for Young Women Ages 16–24
DESCRIPTION:Your Financial Headstart: A No-Cost Money Workshop for Young Women Ages 16–24\nThis workshop is built for you — not a general audience\, not a classroom\, not a textbook. Just young women\, real questions\, and the money conversations that actually matter at your stage of life. \nIn two hours\, we go deeper than the basics. Whether you’re in your first job\, heading to college\, or navigating gig work and irregular income\, this is your chance to ask the questions you’ve been sitting on — in a room full of women who get it. \nWhat we’ll cover: \n\nYour first paycheck — gross vs. net\, taxes\, benefits\, and what you might be leaving on the table\nBudgeting that flexes with your real life\, not an idealized one\nCredit scores — how to build one from zero and why it matters sooner than you think\nSaving and investing — why starting now beats starting later (we’ll show you the math)\nDebt without panic — student loans\, credit cards\, and what to know before you sign anything\n\nYou’ll leave with three hands-on worksheets\, a trusted resource guide\, and one concrete next step that’s yours to take. \nFree. Two hours. Bring your questions — and a friend.
