Financial Literacy
"Many people take no care of their money till
they come nearly to the end of it."
John Wolfgang von Goethe
We at East Light Investments are passionate advocates for financial literacy. Sadly, 53% of American adults describe themselves as stressed out by money.(1) Another 78% live paycheck to paycheck.(2) Three in five adults do not keep a budget.(3) And God forbid something unforeseen happens because two out of three families do not have an emergency fund.(4).
As a seasoned investment professional, Karen was distraught to continuously see people seeking retirement advice at the END of their careers and realizing that they would not have enough to comfortably live their retirement dreams. So, she decided to do something about it. Karen is now a Certified Financial Education Instructor (CFEI) and working with some of the biggest names in the financial literacy industry to reach people EARLY so they can create strong financial habits and establish a strategy that enables them to live BEYOND their dreams.
East Light Investments is also in the process of sponsoring scholarships for women who cannot afford the level of financial coaching necessary to create strong financial habits. You can set up a complimentary meeting with Karen if you have interest in participating in this program or would like to book her as a speaker.
