April is Financial Literacy Month, which makes now a good time to update your budgeting skills.
In the last year, many Americans have faced unique financial challenges. Many have struggled to keep their families and finances healthy during a stock market downturn, widespread job insecurity or perhaps the loss of a loved one.
In times like these, planning your financial future is especially important. While getting your finances in order can seem overwhelming, VA is partnering with Prudential Pathways to offer a new series of financial wellness seminars that can help you face the future with confidence – no matter what it holds.
Join us on Wednesday, April 21, 2021, at 1:00 p.m. ET or 1:00 p.m. PT for the Budgeting and Building an Emergency Savings Fund seminar. It is designed to help you learn new behaviors and adopt healthy financial practices, such as:
- Creating and maintaining a spending plan.
- Dealing with financial debt.
- Preparing your finances for the unexpected.
Click here to register for the seminar today. The event is free of charge and all you need is access to the internet on a computer or mobile device. Be sure to also stay tuned for more information about future financial wellness seminars taking place in May and June.
