The trend over the last several decades in the personal financial world is clear: our society is shifting away from a future retirement funded primarily from a military and/or civilian company retirement plan (called “defined benefit”) to one where our quality of life in retirement will be funded primarily from personal savings and investments (called “defined contribution”) made during the entirety of our working years.

In addition, we will be curating, and in some cases actually presenting, a series of webinars from various fields related to Financial Literacy to help our membership travel on their journey to financial independence and security. See the “Upcoming Chapter Events” section on our MOAACC website for information on near term events of interest to you and your family.

Remember, no matter our personal level of financial success, we have lessons to pass along to our progeny -- what we did or what we wish we had done. Either way, our family will benefit from our “lessons learned.” We have a responsibility to help them succeed.
