LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Congresswoman Susie Lee put on a presentation to help valley women learn how to invest in themselves and their future.

Experts say women face unique financial challenges when creating and maintaining wealth across the country, but especially in Nevada.

Congresswoman Lee says managing your finances starts with a good plan, and aimed to help women in Southern Nevada build their financial literacy with Monday's event.

"Establish an accountability partner who's going to help you and, most importantly, set a plan," Lee said. "If you are overburdened by debt, credit card debt, set a plan where you're going to pay that off gradually. That's probably the most expensive thing you have. It's depleting your resources, but then also set a plan on how you will save and set things apart."

Lee said the presentation was valuable and hopes to host more events like this one soon.
