Financial Planning Assocation of MA announces free program for military personnel

Jan. 9, 2012 - PRLog -- Financial Planning Association™ of Massachusetts (FPA of  MA) is demonstrating its commitment to military personnel  and their families by offering free financial coaching and planning to those who have served our country,  are currently serving or are about to be deployed.

Assigned volunteer planners will assist in defining financial goals, create budgets, establish savings plans, and ensure that those participating in this no-cost program receive full advantage of their employee and military benefits.

“It is a privilege to be able to support our troops in this significant manner,” said James Thompson, President of the FPA of MA.  “For those who are scheduled for mobilization and deployment, this program is particularly meaningful for it allows the soldier to have a workable plan in place to ease the impact of the family separation and assists in resuming  ‘normalcy’ upon his/her return.”

Interested parties are encouraged to call the FPA of MA referral line toll free at 866-804-0484 for more information.
