Is your financial house in order?
Greetings!
Hope all is going well for you and that you are having a nice summer.
Please join us and other leading financial service and nonprofit associations, their professionals and companies, , educational institutions, larger employers, membership based organizations, technology companies, government agencies, and the news media and concerned individuals in celebrating, supporting and participating
The Improving Financial Awareness & Financial Literacy Movement
with its concentrated personal finance content media blitz built around the strategic campaign venues of:
- Estate & Gift Planning Awareness Month (October)
- Financial Literacy Month (April)
With so many people on the path to or verge of running out of money before their life expectancy, many families burdened with large amounts of student loans and other forms of growing debt, and more than half of our adults (120 million)
not having nor understand why they need an up-to-date financial, estate and gift plans to protect themselves and their families, we have a serious problem.
This lack of financial awareness and the financial illiteracy epidemic places a
HUGE
growing amount of pressure on families and friends, employers, nonprofits; as well as the ultimate safety net – the state and federal government. This is not just a domestic epidemic it is an international one.
The goals are to encourage you to actively participate and support this very important movement to alert, educate, motivate, and assist We The People - the general public to get and keep their financial house in order with an up-to-date financial, estate and gift plans. This is such a great opportunity to "do good” for you and your family, your friends and neighbors, your employees and business associates, your customers, prospects and your community while you help solve a major social challenge - the financial illiteracy epidemic.
We understand that this is a massive undertaking; but as we move into the
11th year of The Improving Financial Awareness & Financial Literacy Movement
it’s being accomplished through thought leading financial service and nonprofit organizations and their professionals, educational institutions, municipalities, employers, technology companies, the news media, and other concerned organizations and individuals.
