Has COVID-19 thrown your finances into disarray? You’re not alone!

That’s why we’re sharing this free program from Steve Leskovec of Western Reserve Consulting. He explains the seven steps that you can take to ensure financial freedom.

Those steps include:

1. Building an emergency fund.
2. Paying off your debt.
3. Saving 3 to 6 months in expenses.
4. Investing in your retirement.
5. Paying for your children’s college.
6. Paying off your home early.
7. Building wealth and giving.

Leskovec offers the best practices for decreasing debt, funding retirement, and paying for college. He also provides practical advice for budgeting and selecting an investment advisor.

By the way, if you’re an entrepreneur, Leskovec previously offered advice for financial wellness in the workplace. You can watch that here, as well.

Financial Coach Steve Leskovec from Western Reserve Consulting offered free financial wellness advice to entrepreneurs during a webinar the library hosted earlier this week.

He discussed the most common financial problems facing employees right now. He also explained how those problems can impact their employers. Finally, he described how financial wellness plans can benefit both employees and employers.

Leskovec will also offer financial advice for individuals and families during a second program entitled The Road to Financial Wellness. It will stream at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 12. He will explain the basics of creating a spending plan and share seven steps to financial freedom and security.

This program will be shared online via Zoom and is free to attend. You will need to register for the programs via our online calendar. After registering, you will be emailed the link to participate a day before the program. (If you don’t find it in your inbox, please check your spam folder.)

That program will also be recorded and available for viewing at a future date on the library’s website, Facebook page, and YouTube channel.
