We talk about EVERYTHING ELSE. Why don’t we talk about money? The answer is actually so obvious, it’s just f*cking stupid. We don’t talk about money because as a society, we ascribe value to people based on their financial worth.

PERSONAL FINANCE 101: TOP 5 TAKEAWAYS
Last Wednesday evening I had the pleasure of hosting a personal finance workshop for Ladies Get Paid, a New York-based but nationwide organization focused on helping women find career and financial success, at San Francisco’s GitHub headquarters. I’m pleased to say that the event made for a very engaging and interesting discussion on how different people manage their money, what their perceptions of the stock market are, and the various approaches to investing, whether through work in a 401k or directly through the stock market.
The Paper & Coffee is on a mission to make finance fun, so we’re making it social – just as it should be! This November 23rd we’re hosting our first event in Gastown, Vancouver. We’ll have a panel of personal finance experts (featuring WealthBar CEO Tea Nicola, Voleo CEO Thomas Beattie, and Mogo Money Financial Fitness Coach Chantel Chapman!), and a moderator (me!), to lead you through a discussion about the current financial industry and how as millennials, we fit into it.
