Financial education is very important, as is setting financial goals. However, life involves more than just money. Unexpected events can happen in many ways—like a car breaking down, a medical emergency, or losing your job. That’s why it’s important to have different strategies to protect yourself from these surprises.
Join us on Thursday, May 1st at 5:30 PM in the Lakeland Public Library Meeting Room for a financial workshop with Edward Jones, where we’ll talk about how to financially prepare for the unexpected. No registration required. Ages 15+.
