Weekly Money Hour - Sailing out of the storm with confidence

We created the weekly money hour to exchange on topics around money and life in times of crisis. Each money hour has a deep dive topic selected by the community.

In this money hour we are honoured to welcome Jude Kelly as special guest, talking about sailing out of the storm with confidence - 5 things you can do now.​​​​​​​

• give you a quick market update during times of COVID-19
• get a boost of confidence, inspiration and optimism
• receive insights on how to build a financial safety plan
• learn how much you should save for emergencies

1. Take time for self-reflection and know yourself during this crisis: how are you reacting and getting through your days? Are you surprised by how you are able to cope? Be kind to yourself: you may better than you think at riding this storm.
2. Focus on what you can control, now and in the future: your values, how you use your time and how you use your money.
3. Even if you may not have savings to invest, you can control how you spend some of your money and do a "spring clean" of your non-essential expenses, letting your spend be guided by your values and beliefs
4. Keep a mental image of the future you want to see after this crisis, what needs to change, and how you can influence society and the economy with your behaviours and choices... we may have more power than we think.
