April is not just another month; it's National Financial Literacy Month! This is a significant time for the federal workforce and the citizens of the United States, especially in the face of rapid and unprecedented changes. It's an excellent opportunity to not just review, but to actively upgrade your financial acumen.
 
The STA Contingency Plan of Action Committee, along with the Finance Council and the Men of Saint Teresa, is here to support you. These groups have joined together to arm you with strategies to navigate the financial landscape and come out on top.
 
Here are short descriptions for your financial literacy topics, which are particularly relevant in today's volatile political climate and can help you navigate these uncertain times with confidence:

Avoiding Common Financial Blunders: In an era of political and economic uncertainty, avoiding costly financial mistakes is more crucial than ever. Discover how to protect your wealth against financial instability.

Retirement Security – The number one concern when preparing for retirement is ensuring you don't outlive your money. With shifting policies and unpredictable markets, securing a stable retirement requires not just planning, but proactive planning and management. You have the power to ensure your savings last, no matter what changes come.

Social Security & Taxes – Political shifts can impact Social Security and tax laws, affecting your benefits and liabilities. Stay informed to maximize your income and minimize surprises.

Estate Planning – Essential for Everyone, Not Just the Wealthy! In a rapidly evolving legal landscape, effective estate planning is essential for safeguarding your assets and ensuring your legacy remains intact. Without an appropriate plan, your assets, healthcare decisions, and legacy could be left to the courts or impacted by shifting policies. A well-structured estate plan ensures that your wishes are honored, your loved ones are protected, and your financial future remains secure, regardless of income level.

Join us each week starting in April to gain insight and strategies to navigate these challenging times. Sessions will be held every Monday night in April at 7:00 PM via zoom.
