By Nerissa McNaughton

 

Mark January 10 on your calendar! That’s when Get Your Money Working for You, a free event at the Allan & Jean Millar Centre, takes place. Registration is required, so you’ll need to call 780-778-3637 (extension 0) or drop into the centre to sign up.

 

During the talk, you’ll discover insights about setting goals for retirement, what RRSPs and other investments are all about, and learn money-saving tips from a local professional.

 

January is the time many people make New Year’s resolutions designed to improve their health, wealth and mindfulness. Taking in this seminar is an excellent way to help you reach your goals of better financial stability, which, in turn, is good for your health. Stress – and finances are a huge sources of stress for the nearly half of Albertans that live paycheck-to-paycheck – floods the body with cortisol. Knowns as the “stress hormone” cortisol messes with your memory, increases your weight, raises your blood pressure and lowers your immune system!

 

Taking in this free class can help you deal with the stress of your finances, and give you a clearer road map to retirement. Don’t think that you can’t afford to retire, or that you’ll never get out of debt. Professional financial advisors can often spot holes in your current financial plan. Perhaps you are borrowing too much, racking up huge interest fees. Maybe you are not leveraging an asset or reaching your full income potential. Even if you are happy with your finances, this seminar is still a great idea. Maybe you’ll learn that you have to set money aside for capital gains taxes on your vacation cottage, or discover that you can put money into a TFSA once you max out your RRSP.

 

No matter what your financial situation is, you can benefit from Get Your Money Working for You. Don’t delay! Call or visit the Allan & Jean Millar Centre today and improve your life in 2018 by learning more about handling your hard-earned money.
