Planning for Prosperity was created with the main focus of educating and providing support to individuals facing financial decisions at various stages of their lives.

 

About us

The materials were developed by a team of financial professionals from each of the specified fields.  Based on their research and experience the authors were able to provide the users with guidance on various financial topics.

When looking at the sources of information consumers are exposed to, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) wrote in their November 2013 paper "Navigating the Market" that the financial services industry spends roughly $670 million each year on education, a trivial amount in comparison to the $17 billion spent on marketing products to consumers.  We hope the information provided in this site will help users improve their financial literacy and meet their life goals. 

 

"When consumers receive the vast majority of their financial information from companies that are trying to promote an image or sell products, consumers have very little unbiased information"
~ CFPB director Richard Cordray
