Montana State University Extension is offering a free financial education series webinar beginning September 23. The "Solid Finances" series consists of 16 sessions, organized into four topics (money management, investments, retirement and estate planning) with four one-hour sessions per topic.

The program will be taught by MSU Extension Family Economics Specialist Marsha Goetting and MSU Extension Economics Associate Specialist Joel Schumacher.

Previous series participants have said they liked "the knowledge of the presenters and each class being focused on a narrow topic," and "[I was] able to put information to use immediately, helping me meet a personal goal regarding estate planning and trust/will development."

The program is made possible by a grant that MSU Extension received from the FINRA Investor Education Foundation and United Way Worldwide to expand the Solid Finances education series to reach off-campus audiences.

There is no charge to participate in the series. Participants can attend a single session or all 16 sessions. There are two ways to participate in the series: several host locations are being established with classroom space (Havre, MSU-Billings, White Sulfur Springs, Livingston, Broadus and Missoula); or participate as an individual online in the webinar series.

All of the webinar sessions will be offered from noon to 1 p.m. There is no cost to participate in the series and the sessions are open to all. The complete schedule and webinar registration is available here: http://www.msuextension.org/solidfinances/webinarschedule.html
