“I find the topics covered by the club to be quite useful. I’m always interested in the economic update before each presentation and the property presentations in particular. As a woman running my own business, I like to be informed on financial matters so that I can make informed decisions. Unfortunately, I was recently widowed and if anything, being a member of the club means I am in a better position to face the world and make financial choices on my own.” - Fatima Osman, a conveyancing attorney runs her own business and has been a member of the acsis/Personal Finance financial planning club for two years.
