We're back with another episode of Guided by Good Cents, the quarterly podcast of Cedar Point Federal Credit Union.

We’ll kick off this episode in true back-to-school fashion with tips and tools to help set your kids on a smart financial path. Then, we’ll shift gears to talk about smishing: what it is, the warning signs to look for, and how you can protect yourself. Finally, we’ll sit down with Colleen Blundell, our Vice President of Investment Services, where she’ll explain the basics of life insurance and how it can be a valuable piece in your overall financial plan, especially as we head into Life Insurance Awareness month this September.
