The workshop covers budgets, establishing credit, saving and how to protect your property and yourself.

The workshop addresses women’s needs for retirement and how a longer life expectancy creates more exposure to the effects of inflation, not only on everyday income but also on long-term savings goals.

Learn how life insurance can help make sure expenses aren’t left for other family members, such as long-term care, providing a spouse and children with financial support, or helping take care of the mortgage on the home the family lives in. This workshop looks at why life insurance for women is a crucial part of financial planning for the entire family.

The quality of your retirement is partially based on how well you plan for it financially. One key element to an educator's retirement strategy is a 403(b) plan, but many educators don't know how a 403(b) works.

This workshop is designed to answer these questions:

• What is a 403(b)?
• What are the benefits of contributing to a plan like this?
• Who qualifies to use a 403(b) plan?
• How can I make contributions to it?

This workshop is designed to teach you about your State Teachers’ Retirement System (STRS), a key component of your retirement planning. No matter how far you are from retirement, this workshop can benefit you.

Discussion topics include:

• the benefits your STRS provides;
• how your retirement income is determined; and
• how your STRS income should fit into your overall retirement strategy.
