Guest Speaker
Bob introduced today’s speakers, Mike and Joan of Primeamerica, a financial advisory firm providing counseling and guidance for money management. Mike explained their approach towards responsible money management and retirement planning. They guide their clients through debt strategies and retirement planning. Mike described their approach through a series of concepts that were thoughtfully presented. Most of us older folks could have used their visions during our earlier years!
Thank you, Bob, for arranging this interesting talk!
