WHEREAS: WHEREAS: WHEREAS: WHEREAS: THEREFORE:

Financial planning is the process of wisely managing one's finances while simultaneously navigating the economic barriers that can arise at any stage of life. This process helps individuals set manageable fiscal goals and develop plans to meet those goals by addressing weaknesses and building on strengths; and
The financial planning process allows individuals and families to achieve their dreams by empowering them to identify and pursue reasonable goals with their savings. Financial planning can be beneficial to all people, regardless of income level; and
Whether buying a home, starting a business, saving for a child's college education, or preparing for retirement, everyone can benefit from sound financial planning and awareness regarding finding the proper resources for objective financial advice; and
Organizations like the Financial Planning Association, with its more than 27 ,500 members, support the financial planning process as a way to help individuals reach their dreams and achieve their goals; now
I, NATHAN DEAL, Governor of the State of Georgia, do hereby proclaim October 3- 8, 2016, as FINANCIAL PLANNING WEEK in Georgia.
In witness thereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the Executive Department to be affixed this 16th day of August in the year of our Lord two thousand sixteen.
