Seminars
Social Security
Social security is the sole source of income for about 20% of retirees. Another 33% rely on social security for about 90% of their income. The Social Security Seminar will explain the benefits of social security retirement, disability, and survivor’s insurance programs and will tell people where they can get answers to their social security questions.
Home Buying/Refinancing
The Home Buying/Refinancing Seminar will provide information on the home buying process. With roughly 900,000 homes nationwide in jeopardy of foreclosure, mortgage education is necessary. Consumers who are financially literate are less likely to be victims of predatory lending.
Retirement
Everyone dreams of living comfortably in retirement. The Saving for Retirement Seminar will motivate participants to estimate their retirement income needs, raise awareness of the need to preserve retirement assets, and promote financial planning.
Paying for College
The Paying for College Seminar will highlight college savings plans and will explain N.C., Federal, and other financial aid. This seminar will be very beneficial because, according to the College Board, public college tuition has increased 35% from five years ago.
