Financial Security is the ability to meet future needs while keeping pace with day-to-day obligations. The Cooperative Extension National initiative “Financial Security in Later Life” seeks to a) help people improve personal finance behaviors leading to financial security in later life, b) enhance the capacity of local educators and their partners to deliver effective programs, and c) increase economic vitality and quality of life for families and communities. BE SMART (Basic Education for Senior Medicare Awareness to Restore Trust) collaborative project educates seniors on keeping track of financial and medical records and guarding against consumer, telemarketing, and Medicare fraud. |
