WealthCamp - In Just One Day, We Will Help You Change Your Financial Situation

Should you attend WealthCamp?

  • Are you struggling with debt (high-interest credit cards, car payments, student loans, mortgages)?
  • Do you want to take action to become debt-free?
  • Do you want to learn how to invest your money more wisely?
  • Do you want to figure out how to retire -- not at age 65, but at age 40, 35, or earlier -- without winning the lottery?
  • Are you tired of hearing financial "advice" that is actually a thinly-disguised sales pitch? WealthCamp's primary goal is to help you start the conversation about money -- person-to-person, without any speakers doing "sales pitches" for their own businesses. Why? So you can be out of debt, happier, have more confidence, and become free to live the life you want to live. Being in control of your finances will help you achieve your dreams. Attending WealthCamp can help move you along in your goal to become financially free.

Debt is more common than you realize...

Money is an integral part of our lives, but is seldom talked about.

  1. Most of us have debt. In fact, the average household carries a credit card debt of $8,000. Yet we don't talk about how to change this. We deny the problem, hide it, are embarrassed about it, and therefore don't deal with it. Debt costs us hundreds of dollars a month in interest fees and often creates a cycle where we can't afford unexpected expenses, health problems, or even retirement. Being in debt forces us to work jobs we don't love, have feelings of guilt and shame, and deny taking the opportunity of excellent growth experiences such as starting a business.
  2. Our society doesn't have enough conversations about money. Asking someone's salary is considered taboo -- even when it may help you increase your own salary. Talking about how much money or debt you have is considered gauche, yet talking about your new possessions is not. Money gives us the ability to do all of the things we love to do, such as buy those possessions or have amazing, unique experiences -- but it is also a leading cause of stress in our society. WealthCamp was created to help you manage money so you can be free to do what you love without financial stress.

Why WealthCamp?

  • You can read personal finance books or websites, but often the advice is contradictory or confusing. WealthCamp brings together a set of speakers who will help you cut through the confusion and find the best advice about money -- from saving, to spending, to investing. There are NO sales pitches at WealthCamp, so you can let your guard down, relax, and have good conversations about money. By the end of the day, you will have a budget, ideas on how to save and invest, and an understanding of how to cut through the hype and figure out what works for you.
