Federal Employee Finances in a Time of Crisis
The financial impact of the coronavirus has been felt by some more than others; however, no one has been left untouched. While there are signs of recovery, many of us are still struggling to manage the impact of this pandemic. But, there are actions we can take today to help. Plus, this time in history presents an opportunity for all of us to take stock of our financial position, assess the impact the coronavirus has had on our goals, and implement a plan to get back on track. We can also reflect on lessons learned and use them to help protect ourselves for when the next disaster strikes. Join us as we discuss these and other ideas for getting our finances back on track. This broadcast is sponsored by WAEPA.
This 30-minute webinar covers:
