LV Assistant Editor Alden here. We love the idea of money clubs, so we wanted to create a place where LearnVesters could meet other women like them (maybe there's a few in your area!) that want to start a money club of their own. If you want to start your own, introduce yourself here and share your ideas for what you would like to do in your ideal money club. (Opinions on the best snacks conducive to financial conversations optional.)
I do I do! My boyfriend and I have talked about starting an investment club for a few months now, but can't think of anyone who would be committed to it. We want to form a club where everyone donates $30-$35 a month to invest in a stock. Each month we would study which stock we want to invest in and then everyone would have a vote. It would be a great learning experience and maybe we could make a little along the way. And of course, I am a baker, so I would vote for pastries or cake for the snack side of the club. I think it would be great to have a place where you can talk about finances openly and comfortably.
Hi LV folks! I am Stephany, the head of LearnVest's financial planning team and I LOVE the idea of money groups! LearnVest is going to start a nationwide network of them this year, so when you comment be sure to tell us what city you live in so we know where all of the interest across the country really is. In the meantime, if you have a financial question LearnVest can always help - check out our Make A Plan section of the website for details on how to connect with a financial planner for advice.
Hi LearnVesters! I'd be interested in connecting with a few women in Brooklyn, NY age 20-50, to meet maybe 4-6 times a year to set goals, provide support and encouragement, and check in. Send me a message if you're interested!
I'd love to start a money club (support group?:), hopefully to help set goals, overcome obstacles and just move forward in this area of our lives. I live near Lansing, MI.
Anyone interested in setting up a meeting in San Francisco? I like the idea of having a supportive, confidential place to discuss our financial goals, concerns and challenges.
I'm near Lansing, MI too. Have you heard of anyone else interested, Coxa? I like the once a month idea. Maybe at first we can all just discuss our ideas about money and articles from LearnVest. Then we can get to know each other and help each other with goals and obstacles.
Hi - I'm in Evanston, Illiinois, just north of Chicago - I'd love to start a club in the vicinity - anyone else nearby who is willing to meet on a regular schedule every month or two?
Hi! I live in Charlottesville, VA currently and would love to start a club. I would love to connect with women who are young professionals but looking to invest and save for their future!
Hi I would be interested in one also, I am near Youngstown, Ohio. My husband and I have made a point of tackling our finances and trying to set goals and would love to meet other people who are doing the same thing!
I love this idea!!!! I really like was moonprayer77 said about the investment club too. A few friends have talked about it in the past but nothing ever came of it. Anyone else interested in the Kansas City, MO area?
I'm sending out an email to those in the Bay Area who are interested. If you want to be included in the list, please message me your email address and I will include you.
I live about 20 minutes outside of NYC in NJ (right near the Holland Tunnel) and would love love love to start a group. If you are interested, message me your email address! I am more than happy to start organizing.
I'm in Toronto, Ontario- Canada is anyone interested in started one here? If I can't find anyone - are there other locations willing to take on a member via skype? I was thinking the closest state would by NYC, and although distance doesn't matter with skype. I'm thinking I have some context of NYC so it might be easier to join a group from a state and city (NYC city) I'm somewhat familiar with. Hope to hear from someone :)
