Join us for de la Femme’s event on November 1st. The topic will be Financial Planning.
Many people spend more time preparing for their dream vacations rather than their dream retirement. We all talk about what we want to do when we retire, whether it be pursuing a hobby, volunteering for a worthy cause, moving to a beachfront property, or the bucket list of vacations that we’ve been dreaming of. But, do you have what you need to retire comfortably and pursue these dreams?
Sometimes life and work get in the way of your financial planning, but remember time is your friend — the sooner you save, the more you will have saved up. Don’t delay!
Our event in November will be a guide toward educating yourself on financial planning. Scot and Briana will be on deck to answer some of the following basic financial questions:
- What to prioritize first savings vs. investments?
- What are 401K, IRA, Roth IRA?
- What is a financial portfolio?
- How can you diversify your investments?
- How much should you set aside each month for saving?
- What are a couple of approaches you can do daily to save more? Does it mean you need to cut down on your early morning coffee run?
- What does it mean to invest in a tax efficient way? How can you approach it?
- What are some available options for paying off your loans (student, car payment, etc.)?
These and many other topics which include ways to save up for rainy days will be covered at the event. This will be an interactive discussion about your questions on saving and achieving your financial goals without overstretching your budget. With our guest speakers Scot Reynolds and Briana Willander combined experiences in the financial planning field, they will cover ways to plan for your retirement in a way that not only fits your budgets but also gives you the knowledge you can take away to start your financial planning.
