Personal Programs
Due to the economic climate and inadequate financial education, many Americans are at risk of an unfunded retirement. According to Jump$tart’s 2007 report, Making the Case for Financial Literacy, nearly two-thirds (63%) of Americans acknowledge they don’t save enough and more than a third say that they often (11%) or sometimes (25%) spend more than they can afford. More than one in three (36%) Americans also say that at some point they have felt their financial situation was out of control.
Clearly, there is a need for greater emphasis on financial education. Whether delivered in the workplace, in college or even in private settings, help is out there. Let us talk to you about your strategy for retirement and how you can regain control of your financial situation.
