et’s face it, it’s not easy for young people to get started today on the road to home ownership. Parents and grandparents realize the importance that home ownership has had in their lives and they want to help. Lending money is common practice. Unfortunately, so are disagreements between family members over money issues. Relationships can be soured by unpaid obligations between family members. Done the right way, an informal loan is a good deed: enabling a loved one to fulfil the dream of that first home without the lender suffering financial loss. Join Lynn and her guest Harvey Wood as they discuss the pros and cons of lending money to family and give some suggestions as to how to keep it a win/ win situation for all involved when you choose to do so. They will share: *Observations from years in the Financial Industry *Tips on what to consider to help make lending a positive experience for everyone concerned

The original ‘Why Saving Money is Not the Secret to Retirement’ is one of the most popular webinars for CGA members. Likely because people realize that conventional retirement teaching is financially impossible for most people. This causes undue stress while people attempt to get a good return on investment, save more, cut back spending, reduce fees and pay less interest. All this actually sabotages results. The real-life answer is so simple it can be learned by young children yet is rarely acknowledged in the financial or educational communities. What is the secret to retirement? Why does ‘get out of debt’ keep you broke? And, how can spending money make you wealthy? Learn it. Apply it, and realize significant results next year.
