Here’s a tip from our friends at Albuquerque on the Cheap:

The National Association of Personal Financial Planners wants you to become more savvy about personal financial issues, like basic money management, investments, kids and money, and much more. That’s why they’re launching a series of  free online seminars (webinars) over the next year.

The Consumer Webinar Series is a year-long initiative that began Aug. 7 and will provide an opportunity for anyone in the country to learn about a wide range of financial issues from NAPFA-registered financial advisers. 

Each month a new session will be conducted live online. Consumers can attend the live session after registering for free, or listen to an audio file after the program. 

The series will include 12 one-hour sessions delivered via the internet.  The individual sessions will be conducted from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m Eastern time and will include:

• August 7:  Money 101: Knowing the Basics
• September 4: Kids & Money
• October 2:  What is Financial Planning?
• November 6:  Protecting What You Have
• December 4:  Investments: The Basics
• January 8, 2010:  Investments: Advanced Concepts
• February 5, 2010:  Managing Your 401(k)
• March 5, 2010:  Leaving a Legacy
• April 2, 2010:  Women and Money
• May 6, 2010:  Financial Planning and Small Business Owners
• June 4, 2010: Your Retirement

Registration for the 2009 sessions is open now.  Learn more about the Consumer Webinar Series by visiting the webinar page on the NAPFA website. In addition to registering for the sessions, consumers can learn more about the topics and the NAPFA-Registered Financial Advisors who will be instructing the sessions.

Each webinar will offer an approximately 40-minute presentation, with an additional 20 minutes for questions and answers. If you miss the live session, you can always access the archived version online.
