“Women’s Initiatives” held a workshop on everyday financial literacy and, together with expert Inna Baryshnikova, broke down the topic of money into its constituent parts: from psychology to specific Excel spreadsheets. Here are the key takeaways:
Family dynamics. How we spend or save today is often shaped by our parents’ experiences. We discussed how to “untangle” old patterns and start building our own healthy relationship with money. Stress-free budgeting. Income and expense spreadsheets as a way to see where your money is “leaking.” Mindful consumption. We talked about how to avoid falling for marketing tricks and distinguish true desires from impulse purchases. Financial freedom starts with the question: “Do I really need this?” The main takeaway of the day: we manage our finances, not the other way around. And what financial habit has changed your life the most? The organization’s activities are supported by Sweden.
