Now Accel and Summit FCU have a web video series which
targets the entire financial lifecycle and the situations
that can impact your finances during each one of them. The
helpful advice is relevant to everybody — youth, those in
their middle years, and those planning for retirement.
Each program focuses on what you can do
to implement your own sound financial management plan.
Because money management is a life-long activity, good
habits in handling our finances can’t start too early. Nor
can they ever end, regardless of our age.
As you look over our video offerings,
choose the topics that interest you in whatever order you
wish. Banking Is features young people and their
experiences with personal finance. Life is What Happens
While You’re Making Plans provides insights into
balancing issues like making a living, starting a family,
and dealing with major life changes. Planning for the New
Future looks at the problems and opportunities of
retiring or planning for retirement. The news magazine,
Fast Forward on Finances presents more in-depth
information on a number of specific topics.
