Speaker #2 Abstract: Good for the Long Haul:  Avoiding Common Money Mistakes


One key to financial success is to learn from our own mistakes as well as those of others.  The ability to anticipate monetary roadblocks, avoid pitfalls, and overcome shortsightedness is a critical component in the journey to financial well-being and long-term success. This talk will focus on areas where oil and gas professionals may need particular focus, including:



  • Managing income and expenses

  • Preparing for and mitigating against setbacks

  • Setting and keeping financial goals

  • Making sound financial decisions.


These topics will be explored from both the perspective of those presently employed as well as those transitioning to new opportunities.
