Financial Fitness is a series of educational seminars designed to present financial information in a simple and non-sales format. Topics like retirement planning, stocks, mutual funds, investor behavior and estate planning among other things will be discussed. Guest presentations by money managers, analysts & journalists. Learn from the collective wisdom and improve your money management skills. Make your short-term and long-term financial decisions with confidence.

Rishi Sondhi, Chelmsford resident, library volunteer and student of value investing, is the originator and host of this valuable series of seminars.

Programs take place at 7 p.m. at the Chelmsford Public Library (in the McCarthy Meeting Room) on the second Thursday of each month.
