Financial confidence, built together.

Women retire with less saved, live longer, and are talked to less about money at every age. Our Women's Chapter runs free monthly workshops and a peer community that takes those gaps seriously.

Open to women of all ages. No cost, no prerequisites. Prefer email? Write to us at myfinanceforest@gmail.com.

The financial gender gap is real, and teachable.

Women face financial headwinds men typically don't: pay gaps that compound over a career, career breaks that interrupt saving, and retirements that must stretch across longer lifespans. None of that is fixed by a generic budgeting class.

So we built programming around those specific problems. Our workshops cover negotiating pay, planning around career breaks, and building retirement savings on an interrupted timeline, taught in a room where asking a basic question is normal, not embarrassing.
