Want More Money? Join the Club.

You are about to discover a simple program that has the power to change your financial life forever. It's free and non-fattening, and is designed to help you succeed and prosper.
Imagine the productivity and energy of a few friends sharing what they know, seeking out information, putting their heads together to solve problems and motivating each other to move ahead. That's the power behind the new Money Clubs, which use all the latest scientific research to tailor a financial learning program designed uniquely for women.
Money Clubs are an incredibly successful way for women to get together to achieve their money dreams and support each other on their journey to prosperity. The support of other Money Club members provides a sense of community and belonging. With the help of friends to keep them on track, women can help each other in a powerful, productive way. Members are accountable to each other, and that keeps everyone motivated. Like having a diet buddy to help lose weight, friends in the Money Club provide the encouragement that each member needs to succeed.
The Money Club is not your grandmother's investment club. Unlike narrowly-focused investment clubs, Money Clubs focus on learning the dynamics of money, incorporating a 360-degree view of women's financial lives. In Money Clubs, members discuss their money truths and dreams, encourage each other to meet savings goals, reduce debt, budget their expenses, educate children, and plan for a happy and productive retirement. In meetings, members discuss a wide variety financial topics as they support their friends in moving away from their fears and toward their financial goals.
The Money Club concept works. It is founded on years of research, and this proven program can help women succeed. Money Clubs are based on the ancient premise that the combined energy of several people focusing on the same problem is many times greater than the sum of the individual energies involved. This concept has been used at high-level business meetings and in board rooms around the country for years.
Money Clubs are absolutely free and non-commercial. Money Guides from the non-profit Women's Institute for Financial Education volunteer their time and expertise. In addition, Money Clubs receive support from the educational arms of some major corporations, including VISA and General Electric. The Money Clubs are there for you, if you want to make a lasting difference in your life.
You don't have to know much about money to join a club - you just need a desire to improve your relationship with money. The Money Club is a grassroots phenomenon. Women (and men, too) create Money Clubs themselves using the framework and materials at the website MoneyClubs.com.
Together, we can take personal responsibility and help each other move ahead. We realize that to truly make a difference in the world, it takes a positive vision. We visualize a million women actively involved in Money Clubs across the country. That's what it will take to make an impact in the fabric of women's lives and the lives of their children and families, a few women at a time.
If you and your friends want to make a change, to be less worried about money and move toward your dreams, the Money Club can help. As you learn in the Money Club's safe and friendly environment, you will be surprised at how rapidly you progress and how you can inspire and encourage others in the Club as they deal with their financial issues.
Amazing things happen in Money Clubs! All you need to do is gather together a group of friends or colleagues who are interested in improving their financial lives. Make a date to get together for your first meeting. You can log onto the website, MoneyClubs.com, to learn more about how to get started.

The Taxpayer’s prayer: Oh Mighty Internal Revenue Service, who turneth the labor of man to ashes, we thank thee for the multitude of thy forms which thou hast set before us and for the infinite confusion of thy commandments, which mulitplyth the fortunes of lawyer and accountant alike. --Russell Baker
