Celebrate Financial Wellness Month at East Brunswick Library

East Brunswick Public Library (2 Jean Walling Civic Center Drive) promotes literacy in many different areas. January is Financial Wellness Month, and the library is hosting two virtual programs on financial literacy.

The first program, "The Psychology of Money: Taking a Rational Approach to Managing Your Wealth," is on Friday, January 8 at noon. Wealth is a complex concept. Personal perceptions, biases, and emotions about money can affect people's financial decisions. This webinar is designed to help you develop strategies for making objective decisions about money so you can manage your wealth more wisely.

"Financial Freedom: Building Wealth To Live The Live You Love" is the second program and is held on Friday, January 22 at noon. The next generation may be taking a different path through life than the generations that came before them. Their perspective on finances may be very different than that of their parents. However, the fundamental aspects of mapping out a financial future are the same today as they have always been—planning, budgeting, saving, investing and building good credit. This webinar focuses on the key steps attendees need to take toward achieving financial freedom. This webinar is intended for people in their 20's, 30's and 40's.

These programs are hosted by Bradley Baskir, a financial advisor at Morgan Stanley in Boston. He works with clients to help build a sustainable financial plan to achieve their financial and life goals and manage their assets for them. He studied finance and marketing at the Olin Business School at Washington University in St. Louis. Professionally, Bradley worked as a management consultant at PwC in Boston before transitioning to the financial services industry.

Both programs are free and open to the public. They are held virtually using Zoom. To register, go to the library's virtual program calendar at www.ebpl.org.
