"What can I say, Marcia has Moxie!!  In January 2008 I attended my first Money Wi$e Woman conference to observe and learn.  At the end of the day I was deeply impacted by Marcia's passion and enthusiasm and her authentic approach to educating women on money and finance, I said to myself, I need to introduce myself to that woman and find out how I can contribute to the cause.  Since then I have participated as a speaker at three of her conferences and I am amazed each time how women walk away feeling empowered and excited that they can take control of their finances.  If you have not done so already, attend one of Marcia's conferences and see how you can take control of your finances."  -  Debbie Rosenfelt, Financial Mapping, LLC

"Thank you so much for hosting the SAC conference this past Saturday.  I was totally excited about my future when I left the conference.  I immediately went home and started opening bills and clearing off my desk.  I organized a ton of stuff and composed a more realistic budget.  My husband and I had a serious discussion about our finances that did not end in a fight.  For the first time in years I actually feel hopeful about our financial situation.  I can't wait until next years conference!"  -  Sonja E

"I'm 17 and just starting to deal with debt and bills.  Although I'm not in debt yet I'm sure I will have to deal with it in the future and this conference has really helped me get ready for what's ahead.  If I invest $100 a month at a 12% return rate I will be very rich when I decide to become financially independent."  -  Shelley Danielson

"This conference keeps me motivated to continue to pay attention to my finances.  It's not just one particular speaker - it's the whole day and being immersed in the people and the information.  This is my fourth conference and I only have 16 action steps until have completed all of them."  -  Kay Adamson

"My friend told me she would buy my ticket to this financial seminar - I had to admit, at first I thought it was going to be some sort of sales thing, and then I read about it and I thought, this is going to be like eating vegetables, you don't like it, but you know it's good for you so you do it!!  (Actually I love my veggies, but you know what I'm sayin'.)  What a pleasant surprise!!  I have to say I learned more today about my money than I have in years - which basically I'm not very good with my money, so what a great learning experience for me!  It was all day and they had some really fantastic speakers and breakout sessions.  I just really enjoyed myself.  I'm telling you ladies, and guys too, if you need to learn the basics about your money, this non-profit organization's conference is really a great thing to attend.  I foresee it being on Oprah someday, so go now when it's still cheap and you can get a seat!!"  -  Donna W

"In my 24 years, this is the most impressive event I have been involved in. I have never seen a group better aligned with what we want from an event.

"You have been a marvelous inspiration to me.  My own story is one of learning valuable lessons - albeit too late, but now using what I’m learning to motivate myself and those around me to make sure we look after the women in our lives and not to become complacent.  My immediate goal is sharing all I’m learning with family and friends, and then maybe, once I’m more financially secure, being able to get out and help others find the financial freedom that is truly available to a lot of us.  I have several nieces who range in age from 5 to 25, and even though their parents are guiding them fairly well, I am sharing my 43 year old story and telling them to start now!"  -  Jo Hood

"Your workshop this past Saturday was exactly what I needed to give me the courage to continue the fight through the blackberry patch of my financial problems and their effect on every part of my life.  I made some phone calls this morning which I had been putting off for years.  I have been so paralyzed with fear and shame that I have been stuck, unable to deal with even some of the simplest issues in my financial life.  I hope that as I use the tools and the knowledge I am receiving now because of the Forum I attended, that I will begin to recover and move forward again and eventually have a story which will be of value to other women."  -  Jennifer C

"I had been worried about straightening out my finances for a long time.  Figuring out where to start was overwhelming, so I just kept putting the dreaded task off.  I attended a Moneywise Women forum in January 2006.  This event gave me concrete ideas about how to get my finances in order.  Figuring out what I needed to do wasn't so daunting anymore.  In fact, taking steps to get fiscally fit has been quite empowering.  I've been able to accomplish so much in the past two months, and I'm looking at money matters in an entirely different light.  MWW literally changed my life.  Thank you!"  -  Ann V
