Women, It's Your Money! Take Control- Tuesday February 1, 2005
**This is a 4 week session

Can I afford to buy a home? Or should I rent and save for my future?	I really want to start having kids but my student loan is weighing me down.	Can I afford to risk a career change or to start my own business?	I’m pushing 40 and I try to save for retirement but what about my child’s education?

Thing is, it all comes down to what you want – yes YOU. You create your life through the decisions you make and believe it or not, decisions are easy (easier) when you are clear about what really matters to you; even financial decisions. In this hands on workshop, women support women to make positive decisions about their money, and their future. WORKSHOP TOPICS Getting real about where the money goes each month (you can’t control the unknown!) Strategies to balance competing needs, such as paying down a debt while saving for a home Creative ways to save and setting goals that make saving “worth-it” Investments, the future starts now Financial independence, this means different things to different people but fundamentally it means FREEDOM Sheila Walkington, CFP is a Money Coach. Her aim is to educate and motivate women to take control of their financial futures so they can create the life they want with the money they have! Testimonial: “The all-women environment felt safe and comfortable. Hands-on exercises helped me clarify my financial picture and identify attainable goals. I learned how easy it is to get my finances in order even with a busy schedule and small salary. Sheila put us all totally at ease and explained the basics thoroughly and with humour.” ~ Harriet, Writer/Editor
