Dec 6th Meeting

This morning John Havelka of Edward Jones gave us a run down of financial planning for families. The financial advisor stressed the importance of having financial goals, both short and long term. He answered questions about credit scores, life insurance, retirement saving, college saving, and investing. It may be hard to find time to discuss your budget with your spouse, but it is very important.

"Create a strategy, and then review your strategy periodically." -John Havelka

After our speaker, we had a mixer to meet other moms in our public school districts and shared our favorite Christmas traditions.
