In today’s uncertain economy planning for you financial future is more important than ever. If you have financial questions or concerns or would like to learn how to better manage your finances, City of Omaha invites you to Omaha Financial Planning Day, where you’ll have an opportunity to receive free, personalized, confidential answers from professional financial planners. The event will be held on Saturday, October 23, 2010.

Omaha Financial Planning Day is organized in partnership with City of Omaha, Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Financial Planning Association, Foundation for Financial Planning, and the U.S. Conference of Mayors. The event is part of the national Financial Planning Days initiative, a first-of-its-kind initiative involving city governments nationwide and thousands of financial planners, in an effort to help consumers better manage and plan their personal finances.

The advice will be provided by experts from the Financial Planning Association and highly qualified CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professionals. Volunteering planners will be stationed at tables and will meet with you one-on-one to offer advice and information tailored to your situation. Volunteers will not be selling products or services, or giving out business cards. Come as you are, or come prepared with any financial paperwork related to your questions. And, you can consult with as many different financial planners as you need.

The event will also feature a series of free classroom-style workshop presentations addressing key financial planning topics, including:

• General Financial Planning like buying a home, debt management, building a college fund or savings goals
• Special Circumstances like a job loss or change in marital status
• Investment planning
• Income Tax Planning
• Estate Planning including importance of making a Will
• Insurance Planning
