In partnership between the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Prudential Financial, Outreach, Transition and Economic Development (OTED) offers transitioning Service members (TSMs), Veterans, spouses, their family members, and caregivers the opportunity to participate in the Wellness Wednesday Financial Educational series. The series was cultivated to address financial literacy gaps across the military and Veteran community and is comprised of two programs, 1) an online website portal which contains a roster of financial literacy information and resources available at www.prudential.com/Veteran, and, 2) the Wellness Wednesday Financial education series, offered the 3rd Wednesday of every month that focuses on a variety of topics such as: 1) purchasing a home; 2) paying for college; 3) planning for retirement; and 4) learning the building blocks of how to save, budget, and make a return on investments.
January's class will cover the basics of budgeting, banking and credit, and then build on the basics with an introduction to understanding investments and planning for retirement.
Two classes are offered: 11am CT and 2pm CT.
