About the Book:
From New York Times bestselling author of Rich AF and CEO and founder of Your Rich BFF, Vivian Tu, comes a guide to leveling up your finances to improve your life, relationships, and legacy.
You’ve mastered the basics of becoming Rich AF. Your bills are paid, your loans are shrinking, and you’ve even started saving. But what’s next? Every dollar you spend—or don’t spend—is a choice that shapes your future. How do you balance today’s dreams with tomorrow’s security?
In this fun, practical roadmap, Vivian Tu—New York Times bestselling author, financial expert, and the internet’s favorite money bestie—shows you how to strategically spend, directing your cash toward what matters most while positioning yourself to grow real, lasting wealth. This book answers all your burning questions, like:
•Should I rent or buy a home?
•Do I really need a prenup?
•What about my car – do I finance, lease, or buy?
•How much do I actually need to be setting aside for retirement?
•How do I set my kids up with lasting generational wealth without making them lazy and entitled?
•Should I get life insurance? What about pet insurance, or renter’s insurance?
Picking up where her first bestselling book left off, Vivian breaks down the biggest financial decisions of your late twenties, thirties, and beyond—homeownership, marriage, family—and teaches you how to align your spending with your values, your goals, and the legacy you hope to leave. With the insider savvy of a former Wall Street trader and the honesty of your smartest friend, she shows you how to make your money work harder so you can live richer in every sense.

David Stovall in Conversation with Open Mike Eagle

Join us at the National Public Housing Museum for a conversation with author, professor, and community organizer David Stovall.
Stovall’s new book, Engineered Conflict: Structural Violence and the Future of Black Life in Chicago, draws together historical and political analysis to shed light on the politics of disposability through housing instability, criminalization, and school closures.
Stovall will be joined by Open Mike Eagle, the museum’s 2026 Artist as Instigator, for a conversation highlighting the second chapter: “Plans That Did Not Transform: the Chicago Housing Authority’s Commitment to Engineered Conflict,” in which Stovall argues that the role of CHA is central in understanding how state-sanctioned violence and abandonment impacts low-income communities.
A book signing will take place after the conversation portion of the event.

About
This event is presented as part of the National Public Housing Museum’s Transformation event series, launched in 2025 to mark the 25th anniversary of the launch of Chicago’s Plan for Transformation, the most ambitious public housing redevelopment initiative in U.S. history.

House Hacking Happy Hour — Build Wealth Through Real Estate
2026-02-03 17:00 - 19:00 | THE BAR 10 DOORS, 1251 West Taylor Street, Chicago, IL, 60607, United States
Learn how to house hack, lower your housing costs, and build wealth at this free happy hour with trusted resources in the industry.

House Hacking Happy Hour 🍻
Live for less. Invest smarter. Build wealth.

Want to reduce — or eliminate — your housing payment while building long-term wealth? It starts with a drink and a plan.
Join The Hampton Collective (THC), Landmark Property Management, and Ace Insurance Partners for a House Hacking Happy Hour at Bar 10 in Chicago. This casual, after-work event is designed for first-time buyers and aspiring investors who want to learn how multi-unit ownership can unlock powerful wealth-building opportunities without needing massive upfront capital.

What Is House Hacking?
House hacking is the strategy of purchasing a 2–4 unit property, living in one unit, and renting out the others to help offset your mortgage — sometimes entirely. With the right approach (and as little as 3.5% down sometimes $0 down), you can build equity, generate cash flow, and create a strong foundation for long-term wealth.

What to Expect:
🍹 A relaxed happy hour at Bar 10 that includes 2 complimentary drink tickets per person🎤 A live, informal panel discussion led by THC and Landmark Property Management, plus local experts💬 Open Q&A with trusted lenders, attorneys, inspectors, and real estate professionals📋 Practical, take-home insights you can actually use

Topics We’ll Cover:

How to qualify for low down payment financing
What to look for when buying a 2–4 unit property in Chicago
Tenant considerations, protections, and risk mitigation
Legal, inspection, and insurance essentials
When property management makes sense — and how it helps you scale

Who Should Attend:

First-time buyers ready to stop renting
Future investors exploring multi-unit ownership
Anyone interested in lowering their housing costs through real estate
Individuals and families focused on building long-term wealth

Event Details:
📍 Location: Bar 10, Chicago, IL📆 Date: Monday, February 3🕕 Time: 5:00-7:00pm CT🎟️ Cost: FREE with RSVP (space is limited)

Come for the drinks, tacos and conversation — leave with a clear roadmap for turning your primary residence into your first investment property.

(CHICAGO) "For Good" - Wicked | One-Day Choir
2026-01-27 18:30 - 21:30 | Artifact Events, 4325 North Ravenswood Avenue, Chicago, IL, 60613, United States
No auditions. No judgment. No need for perfection. Just the joy of singing in harmony with a room full of beautiful humans.

WHAT IS A ONE-DAY CHOIR?
Gaia Music Collective’s One-Day Choir series is an opportunity to sing in a choir for one day only. A celebration of song and the connective power of singing in harmony. An opportunity to build community, make some new friends, and raise our powerfully diverse voices as one.
No auditions. No commitment. No judgment or need for perfection.
Just the joy of creating something bigger than ourselves with a room full of beautiful humans!
For each choir, we pick a piece of music to rehearse and sing our hearts out to. In our time together, we’ll:

Play some fun singing games, warmups and connection games
Work through the piece section by section
Break down the lyrics and emotions at play in the song
Shape some key musical moments
And record some casual rehearsal videos of the piece to have for ourselves and share with the greater Gaia community

Whether you’re a vocal ensemble veteran or have never sung in a group before, you are welcome here – all experience levels are valued in Gaia Music Collective!

OUR SONG THIS TIME AROUND
This season, we gather around “For Good” from Wicked — a song that reminds us that every encounter, every shared note, has the power to change us. In its harmonies, we honor the friends who have walked beside us, the ones we’ve met only once, and the ones we’re still becoming.
We invite you to lend your voice to this spell of gratitude and connection — to sing not only for good, but because of the good we’ve known in one another.

LEARNING THE MUSIC
Sheet music and vocal recordings of each part will be available as learning resources at least a week before the event, to accommodate multiple ways of learning. These resources will either be included in your order confirmation or sent out in an email!
The intention is for us to come into the gathering having already familiarized ourselves with the parts, so that we can spend our time together really diving into the joys of connection and expression in the music rather than simply teaching parts one by one. That being said, we’re just doing this for ourselves, so there’s no need to stress over it (and definitely no need to memorize it or get it “perfect”, ever)! It’s also often easier to sing in person, when the rest of our part-buddies are singing the part with us. The community is here to support! Our primary intention here is simply to have fun and make some great music.
(If this style of learning isn’t your cup of tea, we have other group singing events where you don’t need to prepare at all! Check out our CircleSinging gatherings and House Shows.)

LED and FACILITATED BY:
This session will be facilitated by our amazing Founder and Lead Facilitator, Matt Goldstein.
Matt Goldstein (he/him) is an award-winning arranger, facilitator, improviser, songwriter, and educator who is known for his emotive vocal arrangements, soulful singing, heart-forward facilitation, and visionary leadership. After making waves in the a cappella scene as music director of The Vassar Devils and Hyannis Sound, he went on to found Gaia Music Collective, a collaborative music community that is achieving international recognition for its work in creating kind, connective, accessible spaces for musical play and expression. Along with designing and leading Gaia’s viral “One-Day Choir” series, Matt is passionate about leading circle singing, facilitating improvised jams, and cultivating exciting new projects in the vocal music sphere. He currently serves as Gaia’s Artistic Director and Lead Facilitator, while also performing as an improviser and singer-songwriter, directing at A Cappella Academy (a summer camp for talented young singers), leading Rock Voices (a community pop-rock choir), and teaching vocal improv intensives through his private teaching studio, Flow Labs.

COMMUNITY GUIDELINES
At Gaia Music Collective, we are dedicated to building a community where creativity, collaboration, and care thrive. The values listed here shape how we work together, how we engage with the world, and how we move toward upholding these principles.

OUR MISSION
Gaia Music Collective is an NYC-based creative community seeking to foster a more connected world through collective music-making. Founded in June of 2021 in a living room in Brooklyn, this project was born out of a desire to create accessible, inclusive, playful spaces for people to explore connection, expression, healing, and release through collaborative song – spaces where folks feel empowered to make music free of judgment or expectation, and to make new friends as our full, beautiful, authentic selves.
We believe that communal music-making is a fundamental human practice, and this project seeks to build spaces for folks to nurture their relationship to music, whether they’re shower singers, professional musicians, or anything in between.
All are welcome in this community. Gaia seeks to foster spaces of belonging for humans of all ages, races, genders, sexual orientations, classes, religions, abilities, national origins, languages, and musical experiences. All we ask is that you bring an open mind, a desire to connect, and a willingness to leave judgment of self and others at the door.
