Recently, I set up a Slack channel at work descri
bed thusly: "An information and learning commons to jointly develop the financial acumen we fear we don't have." I
did it because the issue of not knowing where to start had emerged as a
theme in a number of random discussions and on our annual
employee survey. After a lifetime spent managing the financial affairs of small businesses and nonprofits, I figured I'd learned enough to lead self-help discussions. I don't think of myself as a financial expert, just a knowledgeable amateur.
