Theresa Henry: How Money Works

Drawing on her years in the financial services industry, Theresa Henry seeks to spread an understanding of “how money works.” She shares information that is public domain, but unfortunately not public knowledge. Her ultimate goal is to introduce individuals and communities to powerful resources and strategies, and thereby improving the economic awareness and financial strength of thousands of young people and families.

In Theresa’s words, “Things are changing and people are waiting for things to go back to the way it was — which is causing more challenges. We have to think differently about changes. We have to change the way we look at money.”

“As an investor you get your money to work for you. Money can always work a lot harder for you than you can work for it, only if it’s in the right place. But because we live in such a financially illiterate society, most people don’t know where the right places are.”

“My goal is to help people have financial freedom / personal freedom by learning HOW MONEY WORKS!”

Theresa Henry has worked with a broad range of leading financial firms for almost three decades in the areas of life, health insurance and securities. She has certifications for 401k Retirement Plans, Financial Needs Analyst, Long Term Care and Debt Solutions. Theresa is also actively involved in the community, helping to foster financial literacy, youth development and quality of life initiatives. She is currently working with Donna Karan, Spirituality for Kids and The Beacon House, Women’s Empowerment program to Raise Awareness to Inspire Change and serves as President for The Progressive Women. She currently serves on the boards of The Newark Women’s Conference, Women’s Urban Conference and The Women’s Fund.
