For many Kansas families struggling in our current economy reaching financial goals is a top priority. As we all continue to save and spend more wisely it is important that we have both short-term and long-term financial goals. It is my priority as the State Treasurer to help Kansans be successful now and in the future.
That is why I have partnered with The Bond Market Foundation, a non-profit group to bring Kansans tools to help them with their personal financial planning. Tomorrow's Money is absolutely free and provides useful information on personal finance concepts for every stage of life. From newlyweds just getting started to couples thinking about long-term care health insurance, this resource provides useful information. There are helpful ideas and tips for young people looking at purchasing a home, families saving for their children's education, people looking to reduce debt, those who have lost their jobs, and those anticipating a comfortable retirement.
The website is designed as a way to calculate where you are financially and then where you want to be money-wise in order to accomplish personal goals. By answering just a few questions relating to your annual spending and saving habits we can help you get to the place that you want to be financially. The site provides a budget calculator worksheet, budgeting for beginners advice, a retirement calculator, and a college planner at no cost to users. In addition, consumers can access tips and ideas on saving and investing. This web-site also contains information on mortgage lending, industry scams, long-term care insurance, credit reports, and home foreclosures.
Tomorrow's Money is accessible in both English and in Spanish and can be accessed by visiting my web-site, www.kansassstatetreasurer.com. I urge all Kansans seeking a sound financial future to take advantage of these free tools by visiting our web-site. These financial tools will help Kansans stretch their money to work harder for them.
Being in a good place financially is empowering. Hard-working Kansans deserve access to the tools for financial success. In our current economy it's imperative that we look at how we can improve our financial situation both individually and collectively. These tools can bring you closer to financial freedom. Whether a person is just getting started or is a more sophisticated investor I encourage all Kansans to visit www.kansasstatetreasurer.com for more information on reaching your financial goals.
