Personal Finance Workshops and Seminars for July

It’s almost mid-year and last Saturday, while waiting in line at my doctor’s clinic, EJ and I got to talk about our finances and we got to review it. We had to make certain adjustments with our investments. We also agreed that per type of investment will have to be allotted for a particular goal (like for Baby Z’s education, vacation fund, etc.).

This year, one of the things that I really want to do is to learn about investment. It’s a good thing that there are a lot of investment and personal finance workshops being offered.

One is a seminar called the Money Summmit and Wealth Expo.
Money Summit & Wealth Expo is a conference and expo rolled into one which will be held at the SMX convention center. There will be discussions on investing and trading. The goal of this expo is to educate and empower the self-directed individual investors through access to investment experts and a market showcase of financial instruments.

Started in 2010 and held once or twice a year, Money Summit & Wealth Expo is now on its sixth run and has attracted thousands of investors, traders, and entrepreneurs from across the Philippines
