Money. Moolah. Bread. Dough. Cheddar. Clams. Scratch. Scrilla.  Whatever you call it, money matters. Certainly in this town, which is quite possibly the wealthiest in the world and at the forefront of the widening divide between those that have money and those that don’t.  Money drives business, politics, housing, culture, cuisine, parenting, sports. But talking about it is always a bit awkward.  We want to break this taboo and tackle this topic with gusto at the next Chat Room event.  What are the challenges facing small businesses? How is the AI boom affecting real estate and affordability in SF? How can wealth inequality be improved? Crypto or cash? Is it still possible to walk out of your house without immediately spending $40? We’ll discuss these topics and more on April 29th at Swedish American Hall.    Chat Room: Money April 29, 2026 Swedish American Hall 2174 Market St. Doors: 6:30 p.m. Show: 7 p.m. Entry includes free flow beer and wine from 6:30-9:30 p.m. This event is 21+.
