The choices you make with your money can change the world around you. Mindful spending and smart giving are important, but many women underestimate the impact they can have with their investments, as well. Consider that charitable giving totals about $600 billion a year in the U.S., while retirement plans hold a whopping $25 trillion and the total value of the stock market is around $56 trillion. That’s a lot of money that could be doing a lot of good, and it’s probably easier than you think.

Liz Weston is a personal finance columnist, award-winning journalist and the author of five books about money, including the best-selling “Your Credit Score.” She has appeared on CNBC, “NBC Nightly News,” the “Today” show, “Dr. Phil” and numerous radio shows, including American Public Media’s “Marketplace”; NPR’s “All Things Considered,” “Talk of the Nation” and “On Point”; and KPCC’s “Air Talk.” Weston writes a weekly question-and-answer column, “Money Talk,” that appears in the Los Angeles Times, among other outlets. Previously, she was NerdWallet’s personal finance expert and co-host of its weekly Smart Money podcast.

Whether you are a recent graduate in a first job, in the middle part of your life, recently retired (or about to) or just living your best life, what Liz has to say will most likely be of interest to you.

This program is being sponsored by the PLU Gender and Generosity Task Force, a group of PLU alumni and friends working together to find more and better ways to engage the time, talent and treasure of PLU women.
