Women: Register for Money Talk Online Class by February 1
Posted 17 January, 2012
At some point in many women’s lives, they will have to make major financial decisions. Money Talk, an online class
offered through Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, gives
women the knowledge to make those decisions and improve their lives.
“Money
Talk helps women become better informed money managers and take charge
of their financial future,” said Cynthia Needles Fletcher, ISU
Extension specialist and professor in human development and family
studies.
The five-week online course begins Feb. 6 and covers
financial basics, insurance, retirement planning, investing and
planning for life events, Fletcher said. The course costs $75 and
includes a nearly 200-page workbook.
“You’ll learn financial
terminology and money management skills to become a more informed
consumer. You’ll get to interact with the instructor and other women in
the course. Exercises and worksheets allow you to personalize the
information as you learn. For example, you don’t just learn to
calculate net worth; you calculate your own net worth,” Fletcher said.
Women can register for Money Talk through the ISU Extension Online Store, store.extension.iastate.edu. Registration for the course ends Feb. 1.
“Women
often have unique financial needs. On average, we earn less and live
longer than men, so our money has to last longer. We may have gaps in
our employment history due to raising children or caring for other
family members. Getting married or divorced or dealing with the death
of a spouse also affect our financial security,” Fletcher said. “The
ultimate goal of Money Talk is to increase the knowledge of Iowa women
to make wise financial decisions and to empower them to work with other
family members to increase the well-being of their families.”
