What We Do
“
I have never been financially savvy and money has had the abysmal effect of burning some serious holes in my pockets. And not just little holes. Holes that would make asteroids proud. That is about to change, however. I am finally mentally, emotionally and maturely ready to properly handle my money. The weeks of financial literacy courses that The Women’s Resource of Greater Houston provided for all of us ladies at The Women’s Home have been an invaluable and absolutely necessary staple in my journey into self-betterment and striving toward an enjoyable life.
