The Next Level: Investing in Financial Markets

Ready to move beyond the basics and take your financial knowledge to the next level? Join Financial Advisors Seenaa Jimjimo and Deegan Dickson from Thrivent for an interactive webinar designed to help you better understand how to grow and manage your money with confidence.

This session begins with a brief overview of key financial foundations before diving into essential investment tools, including employer-sponsored retirement plans like 401(k) and 403(b) accounts, as well as Traditional and Roth IRAs. You’ll gain clarity on how these options work, how they differ, and how to make informed decisions based on your goals.

Throughout the webinar, you’ll explore real-life scenarios that highlight both effective strategies and common missteps, helping illustrate how financial decisions can impact long-term outcomes. You’ll also gain insight into how stocks, bonds, savings, and inflation have performed over time, providing helpful context for building a strong investment strategy.

What You’ll Walk Away With:
• A clearer understanding of retirement accounts like 401(k), 403(b), and IRAs
• Insight into how everyday financial decisions can impact long-term wealth
• A basic understanding of how stocks, bonds, and inflation interact over time
• Practical strategies to help you make more confident investment choices
