What’s Happening
In recent years, various new projects and experiments have been executed in hopes of finding ways to significantly increase the drive for the under-resourced to save for retirement and provide for themselves and their families long-term.
According to an article published in the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), experts believe more emphasis should be placed on helping the poor to save more, live better, and scramble up in their own way, rather than on large-scale social support and development.
On May 1st, REP Magazine and WealthManagement.com announced the winners of the 2015 Advisors with Heart Award. Out of 10 finalists, Lynn Phillips-Gaines was selected to receive one of the awards for her work with Starkville Bridges.
Congratulations Lynn!
