Money expert's free webinar offers advice for becoming financially comfortable

Do you still hold on to the part of the American Dream that says you can do more than just "get by," you can also get ahead? Do you believe that the recovery will mean more than just "getting back to normal?" That it will also bring financial opportunity for those who know how to recognize and act on the possibilities?

You can get financial advice to support your belief in the American Dream in an upcoming free webinar "The New Affluence: Achieving Financial Security in a Changed Economy." Sponsored by The Savings Bank Life Insurance Company of Massachusetts (SBLI), the June 17 event, from 12:30 to 1 p.m., EST will feature financial expert and respected author Jonathan Pond.

Pond, who has been featured on PBS and National Public Radio, will provide financial guidance on how to avoid monetary problems you may have faced in the past, and will discuss strategies to make your financial future more safe, simple and predictable. Participants will also have a chance to interact directly with Pond through a live question and answer session.

The webinar will help participants learn to redefine what it means to be financially comfortable. Instead of "affluence" being a lifestyle that someone else says you should have, Pond's lessons will teach you to define it as attaining a lifestyle that is right for you and your family. Topics discussed in the webinar will include:

* Your investments

* Your day-to-day financial life

* Your home and family

* Your retirement

Participants will learn:

* How to achieve a life of abundance - on your own terms.

* How to choose safe strategies to protect your financial future.

* How to simplify your financial life and avoid the complex in favor of the straightforward.

* How to create predictability over uncertainty.

* How to use life insurance to protect your home and family while building your nest egg

* How to create your own pension plan.

"The rules in today's economy have changed drastically," Pond says. "We are beginning to redefine what it means to be financially comfortable. New approaches are needed to protect our current finances as we plan for stability in the future."

Known as "America's Financial Planner," Pond pioneered bringing low-cost personalized money guidance to Americans. He's appeared on network and cable television, including CNN and NBC's Today Show.
