The AMAC Foundation has been partnering For quite some time now with Cindy Richards of Raymond James Financial on the delivery of seminars of vital interest to our constituency. We’ve had the opportunity to work with her and a slate of extremely talented professionals on our “Sudden Death: Are you prepared” series, and we’ve seen firsthand the intensity with which Cindy and her colleagues approach subjects that have immense benefit for individuals and families. That’s why it is no surprise to us to see Cindy’s organization publish a comprehensive guide for Seniors desiring to help their grandchildren get prepared for their financial future.
This topic is certainly not an indictment of parental skills in the financial planning area. It’s more of a reality check. I’ve been there, and so have many of you, and it’s just so difficult to carve out enough time to do a comprehensive financial planning training program for your kids. Now that I’m a grandparent, I fully recognize that I have far more time to spend with my grandkids than I ever had to spend with my own kids, and that’s why Raymond James Financial’s expertise sharing is so important.
So, with that as an entre, I highly recommend you take a look at Raymond James Financial’s “Nurturing Moneywise Children,” available at the firm’s “Point of View” page.

I have had a long held belief that for some reason the government wants the citizens to be deep in debt. I have wanted to have a way to help people manage the money they have. I have seen people that have very good paying jobs and still live payday to payday. Several things have contributed this including not really knowing the wants from the needs and low interest that makes financing even unnecessary items desirable. Is AMAC going to have a way to help people with this issue?
Mary:
Thank you for the comment and question. While the AMAC Foundation does not currently have an active plan for a personal financial management project, your comments are valid. As we plan the allocation of our finite resources for the coming months, we will include your suggestions. In addition, we will be on the lookout for meaningful articles that address this general issue and post those that we find on this site. Thanks again for contacting us.
