Financial
planning is a key component of adulting, but--believe it or not--it's not an
easy task at first. According to a 2018 study, nearly a third of young adults
lack financial literacy. This causes them to struggle with budgeting, saving,
and protecting, which are some of the skills required to make good financial
decisions. When a person doesn't have those skills, they are more likely to
fall victim to overspending, predatory lending, and ever-increasing debt.
To enhance
their financial planning and management skills, 504ward will host a virtual workshop on Tuesday,
November 16 for adults who are interested in improving their money management
skills, which will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Led by Gulf
Coast Bank & Trust Company's Mortgage Loan Originator Marina Manzanares, Facet
Wealth's Senior
Client Success Manager Eddy Jurgielewicz, and Edward Jones's Financial Advisor Daniel Toro, participants will gain an
understanding of various forms of financial planning such as wealth management
firms, real-estate investments, and 401k plans. After the workshop,
participants should gain a full understanding of financial planning, which will
help them to live a healthier, financially stable future.
504ward is a
non-profit collaborative organization that is dedicated to helping young New
Orleans professionals become successful. Their goal is to connect new and
native New Orleanians "to key events, people, organizations, and opportunities
throughout the city."
