How would you spend $100,000.00

Let’s imagine that long-lost aunt or uncle who suddenly thought of you in their will by surprise - it happens! Or you sold your only asset, your home and all you walked away with is $100,000.00 (from either scenario)! Now, let’s say your professional path was weak due to family commitments, raising kids, caring for parents, etc…What a combination (did we mention, your single too)?  What would you do? How would you protect this money and your future? This is a conundrum we’d like to explore with you, while helping others. Please send us a line on your thoughts and in the next couple of weeks, we are going to share various ideas on solutions. Input will come from everyday people who’ve been smart with money and hopefully we’ll add-in some advice from seasoned professionals too. Educational and networking Zoom link to follow.

The Moms Who Monetize - Backstory & Brief:

Mandee K. Hammerstein, once a perpetual single-mom of three for nearly 20-years, found herself continually working to resolve the mysteries of money to best provide for her dependent kids.  In Mandee's daily effort to move forward from her financial past and get hold of her family's financial future, she quickly realized she was not alone in this overwhelming quest.  Always appreciating the value of mentorship, education, and networking, Moms Who Monetize (MWM) was born to create an uplifting, fiscally-smart community for women.  MWM is first launching through a live, online educational and networking series titled "Ask the Expert" via Zoom.  Our inaugural "Ask the Expert" event is on Thursday, June 4th, at 7:30 pm and is free for registrants.

The Vision Brief for Moms Who Monetize:

To establish the group as one which fosters financial education, growth, fitness, and strength in women of all ages and professional backgrounds.

Why Moms? Do I have to really be one - Nope!

You don’t have to technically be a “mom” to join, we certainly don’t discriminate (men are welcome too)! However, the “voice” of the group one that is in the interest of individuals who have the responsibility of a dependent, meaning a spouse, parent, adult child, pets or…Basically, time management and staying emotionally on track for the sake of yourself and others will be an underlying thread in our community.

Can I Contribute - Sure!
