Free Financial Education For Women

It's very interesting to me that from elementary all the way through high school and sometimes even college we are not taught financial literacy. We're taught, English, Math, Science and History amongst other subjects but financial literacy is not part of the curriculum. We grow up, get jobs and before you know it we're mimicking what our parents did with their money and most of the time that is the blind leading the blind.

If you're reading this and thinking to yourself... How do I break that cycle? here is the answer. Smart Women Smart Money is putting on a free virtual financial conference on February 19th.
