Financial Aid & Planning
Financial planning, an outcropping of the services typically provided by a stock broker or account executive, include investment advice, insurance sales, retirement planning, and various other assessments and planning to meet financial goals. As the brokerage, banking, and insurance industries become less delineated, the natural trend is for mega-corporations to provide all of the services of these industries under one name. Financial planners, rather than specializing in insurance, the stock market, or retirement plans, typically have experience working with each. Financial planning is an industry that is growing quickly and redefining the meaning of financial services. Below are links to information and resources related to financial aid and planning.
