Dollars & Sense: A Financial Roundtable from the Writers’ POV Dashboard Dashboard

In a Post-Peak TV industry, now, more than ever, knowing how to stretch a dollar, get out of credit card debt, paying off loans, and saving for retirement or to buy a house is knowledge that should be shared and built upon at every stage in order to give writers a fighting chance for a long career. This informative panel aims to be an entry point to provide advice and guidelines for how writers can save for lean times. We answer questions like: How much to save, and how to save when you don’t have a job, plus tips to get out of debt in order to achieve financial stability, and more.
