The “Wi$e Up” program, for women seeking greater mastery over their money, comes to UT Dallas with a “Financial Fitness Boot Camp” this week.
Yeah, and next door they'll be teaching this to this.
The program, scheduled for 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. June 18 in the Galaxy Room (SU 2.602), is open to UT Dallas women who are faculty, students and staff members. Galerstein Women’s Center organized the workshop in partnership with the U.S. Department of Labor Women’s Bureau and Prudential Financial.
The Wi$e Up Boot Camp is designed to offer women the basics for effective retirement and financial planning. The Women’s Center worked with Texas A&M University to develop the original on-line and classroom curriculum.
The online Wi$e Up module is described as a financial education demonstration project that targets Generation X and Y women. The curriculum is complemented by an “Ask the Experts” feature, which permits participants to send questions by e-mail to volunteers with financial expertise.
Another feature available to participants in both the online and classroom-based versions is a series of bi-monthly, one-hour teleconference calls with featured speakers and a question and answer session.

I take extreme offence to this article. Just so you know, I purchased the book Women & Money by Suze Orman and we females have an unimaginable amount of “issues” when it comes to the dollar that you men couldn’t possibly imagine. Seriously, she wrote a whole book about them.
The way I see it, I have at least 12 good years left to find some poor sucker to “manage” my money for me…or finish the book. Either way, I am covered.

I saw this on UTD's website by chance yesterday and almost fell over when I saw the tagline on the front page: "Class to Teach Women Secrets of Stretching Dollars" - really? I mean, really?

Oh, yes. And I'm sure it will be full of interesting little tidbits like - Get your hair done every eight weeks instead of every six...Paint your own toenails...Only use three squares of toilet paper...blah, blah, blah...
They wouldn't dare make those suggestions to men!
