Pasadena-area residents will be able to get free financial planning advice and guidance from professional financial planners at Pasadena Financial Planning Day. The event will be held on Saturday, Oct. 24, at Pasadena City College starting at 10:30 a.m. and will feature highly qualified Certified Financial Planner professionals, all volunteering their time and expertise to work with local residents one-on-one to address important financial issues.
Financial planners will be set up at their own tables to meet one-on-one with attendees to answer questions on getting out of debt, retirement planning, investment strategies, income taxes, insurance, mortgages and foreclosures, among many other topics. The advice will be offered on a “no strings attached” basis and planners will not give out business cards or sell financial products or services.
The event will also feature a series of classroom-style educational workshops addressing key personal finance topics, including Building Credit, Real World Retirement and Investing Basics.
Pasadena Financial Planning Day is organized by FPA San Gabriel Valley as part of a national Financial Planning Days initiative created by Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Financial Planning Association, Foundation for Financial Planning and the U.S. Conference of Mayors.
