Personal Budgets: From Debt to Financial Freedom

Whether you’re trying to pay off debt or save for a down payment, this session will give you the tools to help you define and achieve your goals. Determine whether you are spending on what is most important to you in life right now. Learn how to estimate monthly income and expenses, and creative ways to reduce your spending. Become familiar with retirement account acronyms so you can plan for your financial freedom. “Discipline is choosing between what you want now and what you want most.” - Benny Lewis

ABOUT OUR PRESENTER

Julie Morgenlender consults with individuals and couples to get their financial house in order so that they can achieve their goals. She worked as the Director of Operations for a small nonprofit, learning basic bookkeeping on the fly before enrolling in accounting classes and taking on all bookkeeping and accounting for the organization. She thrived on translating complicated accounting principles into everyday language for the non-accountants in the room, and now enjoys doing the same with personal finance.

Socializing for Justice - www.sojust.org

Since 2006, we’ve been building this great sandbox where we can bring progressives of all stripes together and try out new ideas in this “Movement Moment”. Spaces like this are crucial as we start to reframe and build new visions for our movement(s).

SoJust hosts events that draw progressives of all stripes that share common values but may work on different issues. We host monthly socials that allow for the possibility of cross-issue connections and run a monthly ProfDev Series, hosted by The NonProfit Center*, which provides access to affordable professional development to increase our individual capacity for movement building.

With 2600 members and 8+ years of creating a diverse cross-issue community in Boston (200 events!), Socializing for Justice is the best place to find the great people, organizations and community you’re looking for while putting the SOCIAL back in social justice.

YES, WE MEAN YOU. We’ve got members of all ages, races, genders, sexual orientations, levels of activism and professions. We hope you see someone like yourself and meet someone you otherwise wouldn’t have.
