retirement

The Planning Your Financial Future curriculum is a basic Financial Management Curriculum appropriate for both women and men.  This curriculum is designed to be delivered by county extension faculty in six one hour lessons, three two hour lessons, two three hour lessons or one six hour workshop.  The curriculum is divided into 6 units with one or more lessons per unit.  You may choose which lessons to teach according to level of understanding of topic by participants.  Lessons may be added, therefore a notebook or file box could be most appropriate for the curriculum.  Depending upon the audience, county faculty may choose to use:

Videotapes

Lectures

Guest speakers

Activities

Discussion groups or a combination of these.

The curriculum provides background information on each of the six topics: Values and Goals, Records and Important Papers, Credit Management, Savings and Investments, Insurance, and Estate Planning.  The curriculum also includes handouts, suggested activities, news articles, to do list, check-up questions, suggested resources and a PowerPoint presentation for each topic.
