[本報訊]八月二十五日,在Cuyahoga Community Collage舉辦了2006年Women
& Money Conference。本活動有Ohio Treasurer Of Jeannette Bradley
主辦,它的主題思想就是:女人,理好你的錢財就應該象照顧你的身體健康一樣重要。
當日前往的有來自鄰近城市的三百多位女士,可惜亞洲人去的不多,這是州政府提供的一年一度免費講座,免費早餐午餐還有書本,從早上7點30分到下午4點,提供八大課程:Budgeting,
Credit & Debt, Estate Planning ,Home Ownership, Insurance,
Investments, Supportive Financial Attitudes, Kids & Money, Elder Care,
Identity Theft and Retirement Planning +10
years。每一堂課45分鐘,讓每一位參加者都能學到許多常識。
在午餐中間,Jeannette
Bradley女士向大家發表了熱情洋溢的歡迎詞,同時她希望所有來參加座談會的女士要記住:我們女人做的最辛苦,而得到的最少。她希望所有女士要保護自己。
本報記者在休息期間詢問了來參加講座的幾位女士,其中一位説:她和他丈夫結婚七年,許多財務都是倆人共享,一年前,他們離婚了,他的先生信用卡上欠帳十幾萬,害得她連找工的機會都沒有。所以,女性自己要有責任管理好自己的財務。
現在的美國,每一個人幾乎都依賴信用卡。好象用的不是錢,當然信用卡給大家帶來許多方便。在理財這一課,主講老師講了,這個時代每一個人沒有信用卡好象日子不能過,她再三勉勵大家用多少信用卡上的錢就要還多少錢,當你使用信用卡,每月少還了,“不受信用了”就要加利息。有的很高。要知道銀行只有讓顧客欠債,銀行才能賺錢。
最後用理財專家的話勉勵所有女士:女性應趁年輕時開始規劃,增加投資方面的知識、追求財政穩健時不要依賴他人,所以多懂得一點如何理財就能讓你過上幸福的晩年。 |
