release date: Jan 01, 2021
TL;DR: Financial Literacy for Employees in the Wyoming Public Employee Pension Plan
"You know you need to learn more about personal finance in order to make important financial decisions, but you just find it too overwhelming, too intimidating, and too time consuming. This book was written for you, giving you the basics in an hour or two, and then directing you to further resources if you'd like to learn more. This book isn't about "getting rich quickly" (not that there's anything wrong with that), but it's about gaining knowledge and building your capacity in order to live a good life. What's a "good life"? We don't know, everyone's definition is different. What's important is that you take the time to define what a good life is for you, and then align your financial decisions with that. The goal of this book is to help you think about your finances in such a way that you have the independence to lead the life y ou want to live; to give you as much control as possible over your financial situation so that your finances don't prevent you from living the life you want. Part 1 of this book is applicable to everyone, but Parts 2-4 are specifically for employees of the Wyoming Public Employee Pension Plan. These parts take a medium dive into both your WRS and your school district benefits, and how you can optimize your finances based on those benefits. Most Wyoming educators are not fully aware of their WRS benefits and how those should impact almost all of their other financial decisions throughout their adult lives. This book will help you make those decisions. So, about 100 pages. Maybe an hour or two. Ready to get started? Future you will thank you." -- back cover.
