ABOUT THE EVENT
A legal career can create new opportunities, but lasting financial freedom requires more than a paycheck. It requires understanding how to build wealth, make informed financial decisions, and create a foundation that benefits not only you, but the generations that follow you. Join financial coach and career advisor Ronda Franklin for a practical workshop on building healthy financial habits that support long-term success. Together, you'll explore the fundamentals of budgeting and saving, while also digging into bigger-picture concepts like assets versus liabilities, investing, and the role generational wealth plays in creating lasting financial security. Whether you're navigating a career transition, balancing work and legal studies, or simply looking to take greater control of your finances, this session will provide practical tools you can begin using right away. Financial freedom isn't built overnight—but every decision you make today can create greater opportunity for tomorrow.

A deeper understanding of assets, liabilities, and building wealth over time;
