Thursday, February 23rd. Your Money In The Balance: How to Manage Your Debt While Investing In Your Future.

Is it better to pay off my debt – or invest for my future? 

The best answer may be some combination of the two.  Attend this presentation and you will learn useful strategies for increasing the “assets” side of your household balance sheet while reducing the “liabilities” side.  Attendees will participate in solving real-world investment and budget-related problems. How credit reports and scores are affected by various factors will be examined as well 

Tuesday, May 15th. Your Retirement: Boom or Bust?

Are you nearly 50 years old or better?

This real-world presentation is organized to provide direction on how to get control over the management and oversight of your retirement assets. 
No worn-out generalities or out-dated advice.  Instead you will be instructed on two important themes: 

1: how to differentiate between your assumptions about the future and what you actually do know, can know, and therefore control, 2: how to apply an ‘adaptive’ investment strategy that takes into account long-term secular and short-term cyclical market trends and their potential effects on your stock and bond returns during retirement.
