About this event

Event Overview: Spend your evening doing something your future self will thank you for- learning about how to better manage your financial life so you can achieve financial freedom (on your terms!), and sooner than you think.

The Financial Gym is a a judgement free zone helping people from any starting point - 200K in debt or 2M in assets - whip their assets into shape. 1 part goal setting, 1 part financial literacy and 2 parts behavioral finance (which is why they give you a dedicated accountability partner to help you along the way), the Financial Gym makes budgeting, saving and investing doable and should we dare say, fun!

Why Should You Attend?

  • Trying to manage money as a freelancer with inconsistent income?
  • Ever wonder where all your money goes and why you can’t seem to build up savings?
  • Living paycheck to paycheck?
  • Do you want to invest but find it confusing or a bit daunting to get started on your own?
  • How about just wanting to understand your retirement plans or student loan consolidation better?

What You'll Take Away: During this personal finance masterclass, you'll learn what it means to be financially fit and several tips and tools for how to achieve this. We'll talk:

  • Emergency funds (what they are and how much should be in them)
  • Expense management (and how to cost-cut)
  • Credit management (what is a good score, how it can help you and how to boost your score)
  • Investing and why it's critical to your financial success

Presented by the Financial Gym's founder and personal finance expert, Shannon McLay, we'll talk through what small changes you can make to whip your assets into shape!

Why It Matters: It matters, because you are not alone!

  • The average net worth for Americans under age 35 is less than $7,000
  • 1 in 3 Americans have nothing saved for retirement
  • 63% of Americans don’t have enough saved to cover a $1K emergency (without having to resort to credit card)
  • 54% of Americans don't invest in the stock market.
