Financial Wellness: Online Information Meeting
Want to reconsider your finances in these uncertain times?
The Dancer Transition Resource Centre (DTRC) and Canadian Dance Assembly (CDA) are dedicating their next online workshop via zoom to helping you manage your personal finances more effectively. Topics for discussion include: how to plan and manage cash flow, how to determine expenses, how to cut expenses, how to create a draw-down strategy, when to consider debt, and how to consider the pros/cons of drawing from savings like RRSPs.
Chris Enns – Opera Singer and Certified Financial Planner
Chris’s mission is ‘helping creatives and other money ‘misfits’ build financial stability’ and he does this through coaching and DIY tools on his website Rags to Reasonable. Chris has built his practice for people with variable income, hard to predict expenses, and no built-in safety net.
We encourage individuals to submit questions in advance so we can more effectively prepare to address your concerns. Please send questions to executivedirector@dtrc.ca
