‘Let's CU Well: Financial freedom and happiness’ is scheduled for Nov. 7 at 1 p.m. via Zoom

A University of Colorado Boulder finance expert will discuss financial independence and how to break the cycle of working for your money this month at the University of Colorado Boulder.

The College of Arts and Sciences event, titled “Let's CU Well: Financial freedom and happiness: Don't work for your money, learn how to make your money work for you,” with Diane Hirschhorn, is scheduled for 1 p.m. Nov. 7 via Zoom. Attendance is free, but registration is required at this link.

Being financially independent means having sufficient income, savings or investments to live comfortably for life without relying on a paycheck, experts say.

Financial freedom can mean having enough savings and investments and being able to afford the lifestyle you want for yourself and your family. It is an important goal for many people.

Unfortunately, too many people fall far short of financial freedom. Even without occasional financial emergencies, escalating debt due to overspending is a constant burden that keeps many people from reaching their goals.
