Better Future

ORLANDO, Fla. - "Discipline, accountability and goals are the three things people look for when they come to our company," said Shaun Spaid, a financial advisor for Ameriprise Financial Services.

On Nov. 14, Ameriprise Financial Services gave a presentation on "New Perspectives for Your Financial Future," in the Southwest Branch of the Orange County Library System.

During the presentation, Spaid spoke about how to find a safe place for your savings, determine the best options for your 401 (k), identify new strategies to save for retirement, choose a college savings plan or finance a college education, and when to take social security.

"You have to ask yourself what problems might occur in the future?" said Spaid, "and how are you planning for them now?"

This presentation was done to provide educational help on how to properly manage your future financially, it was not a persuasive presentation to get more costumers for their financial services company, it was more of an informative presentation of how to better your future.

"These presentations are done to give back to the communtiy as an educational standpoint,"said Spaid, "if they want to follow up they are welcomed."

Most of the people that attended the presention came for financial advice and to find out how to better manage their future.

"I attended this presentation because I needed to know some information about how to handle my future financially," Said Nora Hall, "so I came to look for help to the one place where I know I can find credible information, the library."

Others came to the presentation because they had to.

"I attended because my mom came and I had to," said Linda Hall, " but it was more than I expected, I actually learn a lot of valuable things that are going to help my future and my mom's future."
