Baltimore, MD – December 19, 2024 – Causing to Forget is proud to launch the first 1st Mondays Workshop of the new year with a powerful session titled “Threats to Your Wealth” on Monday, January 6, 2025. This free, interactive workshop will uncover the hidden money pits and misleading financial products that often drain resources rather than build wealth, particularly within middle-class households.
As part of Causing to Forget’s mission to empower communities and break cycles of poverty, 1st Mondays workshops equip participants with actionable insights to secure their financial futures and create sustainable legacies for their families.
About “Threats to Your Wealth”
This month’s workshop takes a closer look at common financial traps disguised as wealth-building opportunities. Topics will include:
- Middle-Class Money Pits – Unpacking products like expensive insurance plans, high-fee retirement accounts, and luxury purchases marketed as “investments” that ultimately reduce wealth.
- Hidden Costs of Homeownership and Real Estate – Identifying when buying or refinancing property becomes a liability rather than an asset.
- Predatory Lending Practices – Understanding how high-interest loans, payday advances, and credit traps undermine financial stability.
- Overleveraging Debt for Lifestyle Upgrades – Avoiding the pressure to “keep up” and protect your financial health instead.
Through real-world examples and expert advice, attendees will learn how to identify and avoid these financial threats, ensuring their resources are allocated toward true wealth-building strategies.
Who Should Attend?
This workshop is designed for 1st Gen, leaders, business owners, entrepreneurs and community members who want to:
- Gain clarity about financial products marketed as “wealth solutions.”
- Protect their income and assets from unnecessary costs.
- Make informed decisions about spending, saving, and investing.
- Build a secure financial foundation for future generations.
