The choices you make with 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.

PLU alumna, Liz Weston ‘85 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 starting your career, 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.
