METLIFE OFFERS FREE “LIFE ADVICE” TO HELP FAMILIES

MetLife offers free Life Advice to help individuals and families start off the New Year with a renewed focus on personal finance matters. Whether individuals and families resolve to start a business or secure their legacy with life insurance, MetLife has multiple resources to help.

“The beginning of a new year is a great time to assess your financial picture and commit to building wealth within your family and community, and having the right support in place will ensure your success,” said Dwight Raiford, senior financial planner, MetLife. “The best way to start is to arm yourself with as much information as possible, even before you sit down with a financial advisor.”
