Financial Planning Workshop

Join Lark & Owl Booksellers as we learn how to build a strong financial foundation. Financial planning is something that should be accessible to everyone and our hope is that by hosting this workshop with Shannon and Ros at Northwestern Mutual, we are opening the doors to a more stable financial foundation for those in our community. This workshop is intended to help you dip your toes into financial planning and learn that it is not as intimidating or inaccessible as we might have initially believed.

Everyone attending this free workshop will receive a budget worksheet, financial spot checklist, and have the opportunity to schedule time with Shannon and Ros to review your personal goals and receive a financial plan, all at no cost!

The strategies included in this workshop are:
• Understanding your cash flow
• Protecting your income, family, and assets
• Developing a savings and investment plan
• Creating a strategy to manage your debt
