My first Wealth Watchers meeting

I had completely forgotten about it because it's been in the planning stages for so long (thank goodness for Outlook calendar reminders!), but a bunch of women at my office have organized a lunch-hour club called "Wealth Watchers".

Kate -


We have IRA accounts (Individual Retirement Accounts) that you can place money in and deduct that income on your taxes.


There are 401k accounts that you can deduct money from a paycheck prior to taxes through your employer.

I think Marie answered the question about retirement accounts very well.

Hi andi,


No, it isn't organized by an outside group, it's being organized by 3 ladies who work in my Department.

That's awesome Kate. You're very lucky to have something like that to participate in, and I love the name "Wealth Watchers." :) I wish there was something like that around here for me. I especially wish there was some kind of class for 20 somethings because I feel like I've spent most of my 20s learning 'the hard way' about money and there's still so much to learn.


What advice did the expert have for your unemployed daughter?
