Forge Your Financial Future at Library Series

The Financial Planning Association™ (FPA) of Massachusetts continues its ongoing Fiscal Fitness 2012 series of financial planning presentations being held at the Boston Public Libraries. 

 

The fourth discussion addresses “Forging Your Financial Future,” and provides a great overview of the financial planning process, as well as an understanding of how a financial planner can help an individual or a family.  The seminar will also highlight some of the basic financial planning issues for individuals and families.  The hour-long event will take place at the Copley Branch of Boston Public Libraries on Tuesday, April 24, at 6 p.m.

 “The idea of managing your daily budget and saving for something that seems so far-away – like a house, or a wedding, or a college education, or retirement – can be so overwhelming that many people don’t take the time to understand how to do it effectively day-by-day,” said John Napolitano, president of FPA™MA.  “By understanding how to better face these financial planning issues, as well as understanding how beneficial a financial planner can be, attendees can walk away with a motivation to exercise more control on their financial futures, and to feel assured in doing so.”
