Chinen&Arinaga Financial Tune-ups Seminars
Chinen and Arinaga Financial Group Inc. are hosting a free series of “Financial Tuneup Seminars” in the next upcoming months. We believe that knowledge is power and it is important for people to be equipped with the right information to make better decisions when it comes to their financial situation.  Just like a car needing a tune-up from time to time, we want to provide people with a wide variety of different financial topics that they might want to learn more about or brush up on. 

Free and open for anyone to attend, some of the topics include College Savings Plans, Long Term Care, Converting your Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, Planning for your Retirement, and more.  All Financial Tuneup Seminars are designed to be no longer than 45 minutes with an additional 10-15 minutes needed for questions-and-answers.  Light refreshments are provided.

Sessions are held at 9:00 am in the Chinen&Arinaga conference room.
