Bari Hochwald, actress and SAG member, has developed her business, The Money Matters! Institute, based on her own experiences relating to money. She\'s written articles for Backstage West, teaches workshops in Los Angeles, at colleges and universities through-out the country and her workshop "How To Use Your Credit Card To Build Wealth Not Debt" is sponsored by Discover Financial Services.
"The over-riding reaction people have when I tell them I teach about money (especially my fellow actors) is to say: \'when I have it, I\'ll learn how to manage it.\' Honestly, that is an unhealthy attitude. How we deal with money today, is how we will always deal with it unless we learn new skills. And these skills, which are basic, can be a lot of fun once they are mastered! We need to learn how to manage money now, no matter how much we have or how much we owe. Because before we put those habits into place, we can\'t experience something very important..... control. Actors deal enough with the lack of control in many areas of our lives.... we don\'t need to add that feeling when it comes to our finances."
You will leave this three hour workshop understanding:
*Your true relationship to money
*How to determine your Net Worth and why that is so vitally important
*A new, inspiring way to look at budgeting
*The system that reduces debt the most efficiently.
