Achieving financial stability requires balancing today's priorities with tomorrow's goals. This interactive 2-hour session helps participants understand the financial realities of homeownership, prepare for a successful retirement, and develop a practical 90-day action plan to strengthen their financial future.

Participants will explore the true costs and benefits of owning a home, key retirement planning concepts, and strategies for aligning financial decisions with personal goals. Through guided exercises and self-assessment activities, learners will identify opportunities to improve their financial habits and commit to specific actions they can take over the next 90 days. By the end of the session, participants will have a clear understanding of how current financial choices affect long-term wealth and a personalized roadmap for taking meaningful steps toward financial security.
