***CANCELED*** When we set goals, it is always with high expectations and good intent. However, a few months into the year, after the initial motivation is gone, many will struggle to stay on track. What we are missing is a solid plan of action to guide and motivate us, so we stay on the path to achieving our financial goals.   Though the route to financial well-being will be different for everyone, a strong grasp of the fundamentals is imperative. Whether it's to save for your retirement or a large purchase, build wealth through investments, or reduce debt, this session will benefit anyone seeking to increase their financial understanding and avoid the common mistakes people make with their finances.   6:30-7PM   Networking 7-7:30 PM  Presentation 7:30-8:00 PM  Q&A Session 8:00 PM  Closing Remarks/Networking  * Appetizers and drinks will be provided   Directions: (59 & Buffalo Speedway in Greenway Plaza area) - Turn left onto Buffalo Speedway if coming from Galleria - Turn right onto Buffalo Speedway if coming from downtown - Turn left just before the 11 story/redbrick glass building with buffalo on lawn, - Stop sign will be there. Go UP the ramp where it says “Hotel” - Surface Lot parking is on the right-hand side (or left side if coming from Richmond) - Go down the ramp and park anywhere there. - Look for 2nd set of double glass doors directly in front of the parking lot - Take the elevator to the 18th floor and you will find our office.
