NEW | Financial Pitfalls to Avoid in Divorce
8
I’m just in my 20’s, Why Start Saving Now?
Being in the midst of divorce can leave you dealing with grief,
confusion and loss of identity-while facing financial, legal and
domestic challenges at the same time. Worry and uncertainty
about how things will work out can cause additional stress during
an already emotional and exhausting time and it might feel
impossible to make important decisions-especially financial ones.
Hear from a team of experienced financial advisors how to avoid
the pitfalls and move forward toward securing your new financial
future. Class fee: $19.
I’ve got a car payment, rent, student loans, etc. I don’t have extra
money to invest. Besides, I’m just in my 20’s, retirement is a long
way off; there’s plenty of time to start saving. If you want to retire
some day, the best way to make that happen is to start saving
now. Thanks to the wealth-generating phenomenon known as
compounding, starting to save when you leave school and begin
earning paychecks will make an incredible difference in what
you’ll have set aside in later life. Discuss tips and strategies for
getting started: How should I invest? How much should I save each
month? How much will I need in retirement? Even though you have
bills to pay, you can develop a plan to start saving now that will be
well worth it! Class fee: $19 one; $25 two.
