Come and learn how you can make your money work for you \nCreate Your Own Family Bank\, May 7 12pm-1:30pm \nWe go to the bank to borrow money for large expenses like cars\, houses\, and personal loans. Banks have high interest rates\, sometimes up to 35% to borrow money from them. What if you were able to borrow money from your own family bank? We show families how to create their own family bank. Using this strategy\, you can borrow money from yourself\, pay yourself the interest\, and choose how you want to pay yourself back. You are in charge of your financial goals! \nRetirement: 401K vs IUL\, May 14 12pm-1:30pm \nMost people have a 401K\, or a 403B retirement account. Like the stock market\, these accounts vary daily.

In this course\, you will learn how you can put protections on your money\, so you don’t have to lose any of your principal value. Sounds too good to be true right?
