Santa Ana College Offers Adult Financial Literacy Workshops
Santa Ana, CA, October 05, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Don’t outlive your income – “Money for Life 101TM” is the first in the series.
Santa Ana College was prompted to expand their financial literacy workshops by a June, 2007 national survey of investors by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., FINRA™, showing 78% of investors were anxious about losing money on their investments and 71% were anxious about outliving their retirement income. The vast majority of investors expressed a high degree of interest in investor education that was unbiased. SAC is in a unique position to provide that platform by simply expanding its current financial workshop offerings.
Don’t outlive your income – “Money for Life 101TM” is the first in a series of one-night, 3-hour financial literacy workshops given by Santa Ana College’s Community Services Program. This workshop is an unbiased step for investors to discover if Fixed Annuities fit into their investment portfolio.
Information is provided by Dr. Steve Weisbart, Chief Economist for the Insurance Information Institute. The workshop is from 6:00 to 9 p.m. Oct. 14. The cost is $49 per person and $79 per couple.

Santa Ana College Community Services has always provided superior courses to our adult students and this collaboration allows us to maintain this in the financial literacy sector."
“This collaboration is important to us from two standpoints,” said William Nordstrom, WSU CEO. “In addition to providing a solution to the need for increasing adult financial literacy by providing a curriculum, we provide SAC with a program to qualify local instructors through the CFLI Program – a combination that is not only new but will enable over 1,000 Community Colleges across the country to become the focal points for financial literacy education.
