Seminar for VR members - Plan Your Savings

January 28, 9:00–10:30 AM 

Instructor: Þóra Valný Yngvadóttir, a business administration professional with an FPC certification in financial planning from the UK Department of Business.

Many of us aim to save, but it either doesn't happen, or we only manage it for a short while. In this short seminar, the role of savings will be covered and practical methods introduced to establish and maintain healthy financial habits. The goal is to change the way we approach saving, making it easier for everyone to reach their goals and fulfill their dreams. This course is suitable for anyone who wants to assess their savings or start saving. Learn how to allocate your money toward what matters most, as saving is the key to financial well-being. The course will explain various types of savings and the most common investment options in a clear and accessible way.
