Peter Owen Holds Seminar in Massapequa for Senator Kemp Hannon

Financial Planning Seminar at Plainedge Library
Get practical advice on your financial decisions.
Money is on the mind of most Long Islanders. The area has wonderful homes in top notch school districts.
But mortgages are high and there are bills to pay. There are worries about retirement and paying for college. Debt and unemployment can be a nightmare.
If area residents are looking for some common sense financial advice, there’s some on the way.
The Plainedge Library in North Massapequa is hosting a free financial planning seminar Tuesday June 22, to help you deal with these problems.
The event, which is being sponsored by State Sen. Kemp Hann0n, will feature Peter Owen, a financial planner for Trendline Financial Solutions.
Owen, who spent 32 years at JP Morgan Chase, before starting Treadline, says the seminar will focus on what he says are the six major categories of financial planning: cash flow; insurance issues; savings and investing; tax planning; retirement and estate planning.
“It’s very interactive,” he said of the seminar. “I like to get down with the people annd listen to their questions. If they don’t ask questions, I will ask them questions.
He says most of the advice he gives is “essentially common sense.”
“Most people know this stuff already; I’m going to remind them of what they already know.”
Owen says he wants to hear what people want to focus on and answer their individual questions. A lot of questions focus on how much people need for their retirement, while handling debt is also a mounting problem.
“What most people do is ignore the situation and put their expenses on another credit card,” he said.
He says he he tries to remind those facing debt that “they don’t have to go out to eat several nights a week or buy premium channels on cable TV.”
“If they chip away at it, hopefully they won’t be at the point where they have to sell the house or declare bankruptcy.”
Owen recognizes the economy has forced people to make tough choices, but his message is, “Hang in there, this country is not going down the drain and neither are you.”
Hannon said the current economic state spurred him to put the seminar together.
“It’s been a rough couple of years for everyone,” he said. “Long Islanders are wondering how they are going to make their next mortgage payment and how they are going to send their kids to college. The key to getting your finances in order for the long haul, is having a practical game plan.”
Owen said that area residents have what it takes to pull out of the financial crisis. “I have a lot of faith in the Long Islander,” he said.

October 20, 2009
Trendline Announces its new “My Financial Planner 24/7 Program” for average people who cannot afford expensive financial advice.
Do you consider yourself:
- An average family, maybe have some kids or plan to eventually
- may have a house or hope to someday
- get the bills paid but nothing left to go to savings
- credit cards piling up but we are still surviving
- I get most of my financial advice by asking family members, friends or coworkers
- I honestly have nowhere to turn when I have a financial issue or question
My name is Peter Owen and I started Trendline Financial Solutions to assist ordinary middle class people with their everyday financial issues. WHY? Because the majority of financial practitioners want to either manage the assets of the rich and get nice management fees, or they want to sell you some product ie a Front- Load mutual fund or insurance policy. Who is there to help ordinary people with their financial questions and problems? I set up as a Fee Only financial planner and , yes, I do normal comprehensive financial planning and investment management. However, I have found that most middle class people do not require comprehensive Planning, that their financial situations are relatively simple – surviving with little left over, probably have a company or union pension, manage to take a vacation every 2 years. What they really need is a person who they can call when they have a question or a new problem due to a change in their lives, maybe help with setting up a budget, getting a second opinion about some guy trying to sell them a financial product, where to find an accountant or attorney, basically someone who is always there to help when needed.
For this reason, Trendline has started a program whereby you can call me as many times as you need to, 24/7 , to ask a financial question. Some of my associates have said I am crazy, that people will be calling every day. Maybe, and I realize some people may call every day just because they can. But I expect that most people truly want someone there when needed, some may never call but are still comforted by knowing someone is there just in case.
Cost : $30 per month charged to your major credit card, plus an initial one hour session costing $180 to get all necessary information about your finances and family situation/desires, so that I can be prepared when you call with a question.
Questions that require more research or work will revert back to our normal $180 hourly charge.
Call or email for a free introductory meeting to discuss your needs.
