Lunch & Learn Seminar...

Charming1 — Mon, 29 Sep 2014 19:30:32 GMT

Invites always come for free dinners to discuss financial planning.

Today, however, an invite came for a free lunch and learn seminar to discuss cremation!!

To attend you should not have prior funeral and/or cremation arrangements.

Gosh, this is a first! lol

Well, that's different. I'm free tomorrow from 11:00 to 2:00. LOL It's not at an open grill or a place with lots of pizza ovens is it?

Seriously, has anyone attended one of the financial planning lunches and was it useful?

Went to one years back. Actually did pick up some useful bits of planning advice, but when the gentleman conducting the session wanted us to make appointments to see him, I opted out. When he later sent me materials, I called and told him he really wanted to talk with people managing far more money than I have.

Lots of what he talked about applied to portfolios north of several million dollars and his fees for management reflected that. Too rich for my blood (or bank account).

Not a terrible waste of time if you like looking at the other side of the fence a la "Lives of the Rich and Famous" although there was no one famous in the group I saw.
