There are over 300 million people living in the United States, and a great many are illiterate when it comes to planning for their future. It does not matter what level of education they have achieved. Even those with the highest degree available never took a class about how to manage their own finances to secure their financial future! So, isn't it time to get a solid understanding of the financial issues important to you?
Times have changed since our parents and grandparents planned for their retirement. Social Security, tax laws, and the costs associated with senior care are a few examples. When you attend these two classes, you will receive two textbooks with over 162 pages of information, in addition to a glossary of key terms. Your instructors will use visual aids and personal stories to aid in your understanding of how you can accomplish what you have wanted to financially achieve your entire life!
Planning strategies do exist to guide you to financial success now and for the rest of your life! Your situation is unique of course. You will be offered individualized attention to address your specific concerns.
