ADEQUATE SAVINGS GROWING CONCERN AMOUNG AMERICANS

The Government Accountability Office's analysis of a recent study finds that among households with members aged 55 or older, nearly 29 percent have neither retirement savings nor a traditional pension plan. This is a growing concern for most Americans as they try to determine how to get back on track with their savings and formulate a workable plan for their financial future.

According to Weber, many investors continue to make mistakes that ultimately impede their ability to successfully invest and save for retirement. As a former vice president of Temple Tikvah, Weber is keen to help members of the community through this financial conversation and his book, which makes self-learning low-cost and easy to understand. "In keeping with the teachings of Temple, I want to help people get on the straight and narrow when it comes to their finances," Weber says.

MONTHLY LUNCH & LEARN OPEN TO ALL

Temple Tikvah hosts a monthly Lunch & Learn series as part of their Sabbath observance, traditionally a day of rest when members stop or slow down their normal daily activities. The Lunch & Learn series gives members of Temple, as well as the broader community, an opportunity to discuss books, movies, or other educational materials. These events include a casual lunch at 11:30 a.m., followed by the discussion at 12:00 p.m., and are open to Temple members for a cost of $5, as well as to the public for $10.
