May24Unlocking the Mystery: The Why Behind the Buy @ Career WardrobeFriday: 11:15 am – 1:00 pm
Do you only seem to have enough money to make ends meet? Most of us think bills are the culprit and hold
our finances hostage. But, there’s much more to it than that. “Unlocking the Mystery” will help you understand what drives your money decisions so you can put together a spending plan to meet your financial goals. We will focus on three key areas — our childhood, our feelings of self-worth, and society and the media.This workshop is part of a larger finance education event with Career Wardrobe.
RSVP HERE
If you are interested in the rest of the day’s events please call Caitlin Day of Career Wardrobe at (215) 568-6693 Ext. 15.
