CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Practitioner

Boston Society of Grownups is a learning initiative created to help people through the challenges and changes in life that no one likes to talk about – the hard parts of adulthood that everyone assumes everyone else has figured out. It’s a place dedicated to fostering financial literacy on issues such as paying down debt, saving for a down payment, and planning for the future. We’re also a place to learn about the somewhat lighter–but no less intimidating–challenges of being a Grownup, including how to travel on a budget and successful ways to network.We offer classes, chats, supper clubs, guest speaker events, and one-on-one sessions with financial planners, as well as a variety of online tools at SocietyofGrownups.com. Society of Grownups does not sell any products in our space or on our site.WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
