As Nigeria wades through a tough economic environment, increased emphasis is being placed on the need for financial planning, which involves looking at one’s entire financial picture and making a strategic plan on how to achieve short- and long-term financial goals.
Recently, The Pink Room – a female-dedicated platform that supports financial wellbeing – went into solutions mode by hosting a financial literacy workshop, targeted at ladies who are intentional about pursuing and achieving financial independence, with purpose.
Some of the brainstorming questions asked: What are your financial goals? What is the real impact of your financial decisions? What are the first steps toward creating a financial plan with clear milestones at every step of the way, so you can pursue your goals with clarity? Do you understand the art of positive manifestation?
Says event attendee, Chioma Ikokwu: “It was a truly inspiring session and I’m looking forward to the next and the next. No more unnecessary designer bags for me – more stocks and bonds 😋 (unless of course it’s one that steadily goes up in value 😉)”
For team The Pink Room, it was: “A special shout out to all of the women who took the time out of their busy schedules to join us. We hope you left feeling inspired and empowered to take charge of your finances. 💗💰. Thank you to @thewomeninternational for your continued collaboration. When women support women we are truly a force to be reckoned with! 💯A huge thank you to our financial coach Rewa, Natasha Mahtani and Datari Ladejo for sharing their invaluable knowledge with us. 🔖.”
From saving for education and planning for retirement, to effectively managing taxes and insurance, this is a time when financial planners develop valuable relationships with their clients to provide them with confidence today and a more secure tomorrow.
