SDSU Extension Family Resource Management Field Specialist Lorna Saboe-Wounded Head says when it comes to preparing for their financial future, many women still shy away from conversations about their specific, unique needs.
She says of the 700,000 jobs lost since March because of the COVID-19 pandemic, 60% have been lost by women.
To address the issue, SDSU Extension is hosting Money Talk for Women, a six-week program for women to become more confident in making financial decisions to improve long-term financial security. Throughout the sessions, Saboe-Wounded Head will lead participants through discussions on financial basics, insurance, investing, retirement and planning for future life events.
The program begins Jan. 25 and will conclude March 5. A hybrid format will be used, with participants independently completing assignments online and meeting once a week virtually with the group and facilitator. Online live sessions are scheduled for Tuesdays, February 2, 9, 16 and 23, and March 2 from 6:30-8pm CST.
Participants will receive a copy of the book “Money Talk: A Financial Guide for Women.” The fee for the program is $50, however scholarships are available.
