Women’s Wednesdays: Women and Money

#WomensWednesdays highlights Bahamian women and our experiences in The Bahamas, specific to our identities including gender, race, sexuality, age, and ability. Held once per month at minimum, the events will draw women together to have conversations that bring our individual lives into focus while connecting to family, community, and national narratives.

#WomensWednesdays intentionally centers and prioritizes women and girls, and is open to the public through in-person events, livestreams, and social media activity. It is a collaborative effort of Equality Bahamas and the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas to create a safe space for knowledge-building, idea-sharing, critical dialogue, and movement-building.

As the holidays approach, money comes to the forefront of our minds as we consider home improvements, decorations, gift-giving, and resolutions for the new year. It’s a great time to look at our spending and saving habits alongside our real earnings. We need to set time aside to identify priorities, create budgets, and scrutinize our thoughts and feelings about money and how they have contributed to current financial standing.

Our conversation will be guided by these questions:
– What is financial management?
– What does a healthy relationship with money look like?
– How can we build independent wealth? What should we consider before investing?
– How may couples determine how much each person contributes to expenses?
