If you want a snapshot of how confusing the investment landscape can be, look no further than the wide range of opinions on Reverse Mortgages. Yet despite what you may have heard, today’s version of a Reverse Mortgage can be an incredibly powerful tool in your financial planning. It can be used to eliminate mortgage debt, finance home improvements, purchase a new home, help with healthcare expenses, enhance an investment portfolio, and much more. This workshop will explore all the ways a modern Reverse Mortgage can dramatically de-stress your retirement planning. Presented by Bill Greenfield of Wealth Bridge Advisory. New Jersey Quakers
Thursday, September 30, 7:00 pm
Quakers were among the earliest settlers in North America, particularly in New Jersey. Quakers were amazing record-keepers. Not only did they record births, marriages, and deaths, they kept extensive records on those who came into their local meetings and those who left. Transgressions by members of the community were publicly discussed and recorded, and as they came to believe that slavery was evil their records on Quakers who kept slaves became extensive. Learn about the history of these pioneering Americans and how to find the rich records they left behind. Presented by Annette Burke Lyttle, owner of Heritage Detective, LLC, which provides professional genealogical services in research, education, and writing. Sponsored by the Friends of the Lawrence Library and the Friends of the West Windsor Library. Registration with an email is required for all virtual programs. You will receive the link approximately 24 hours before the program. |
