Fidelity online workshops available for America Saves Week

America Saves Week, Feb. 24-29, provides an occasion to emphasize savings and financial planning to do well today and in retirement. To assist in this, Fidelity, Purdue’s retirement partner, is offering an array of free online workshops.

Workshops have focuses such as getting started, organizing, budgeting, saving, paying for college, maximizing Social Security, investing for retirement and preparing for health care costs in retirement.

Workshops are offered at other times also, but America Saves Week is a time to concentrate on taking steps forward in financial wellness.
