Want to get your money back right, especially in the midst of the pandemic’s onslaught of economic instability?
You’re in the right place — GreenPath Financial Wellness, a national nonprofit that provides financial counseling and education, and Real Times Media are here to help by presenting “The Financial Transformation You’ve Been Waiting For!”
The virtual conversation featuring Tiffany “The Budgetnista” Aliche will be from 6-7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 18. Attendees can register for the free event here.
Aliche is the author of the new, New York Times Best Seller Get Good with Money. Through her “Live Richer Movement”, Aliche has helped over one million women (Dream Catchers) collectively save more than $250 million dollars and pay off over $200 million dollars in debt.
During the 90-minute virtual event, attendees will learn about managing money, budgeting basics, getting a handle on debt and other trusted information that puts the power of financial transformation in their hands. The event will provide attendees timely advice, tools and resources as many take proactive steps to financially recover and manage their finances post-pandemic.
Aliche, a New Jersey native, was instrumental in getting The Budgetnista Law (A1414) passed in January 2019, making financial education mandatory for all middle school students in the state. She is a powerful influencer who has been featured on Good Morning America, TODAY show, PBS, TIME, The Wall Street Journal, Reuters, ESSENCE, FORBES, Fox Business, MSNBC, CNN/HLN, Black Enterprise and other major outlets.
Gail Perry-Mason, well known in the financial industry and founder of the ‘Money Matters for Youth’ program that provides financial literacy to Detroit youth, will moderate a ‘Know Your $ Numbers’ discussion with Aliche. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask Aliche questions via a live audience Q&A, participate in polls and play “Name That Tune: Money Edition.” The first 50 registrants will receive a free copy of Aliche’s new book, Get Good with Money. Additional chances to win a free copy of the book will be provided during the May 18th virtual event.
