Pathways to Getting Ahead

How do you get on the path to getting ahead? How do you get from where you are financially to where you want to go? Those are the questions answered in this e-Book from the Federal Bank of Boston.



This information is about “assets” you can build. Assets are the capacities
and resources that people need to succeed in today’s economy. They
include the following:

• Knowledge, skills, and experience that you need to get a job and move up.
• Jobs and the benefits they give you beyond that very important paycheck,
and also resources that boost your income when your earnings fall short
or jobs aren’t available.
• Financial resources, such as money in the bank or other kinds of savings
and investments such as stocks, bonds, and real estate.

These resources can get you through a personal emergency
or crisis, help you become a home owner, start a
business, pay your way through school, or make life in your
later years that much more comfortable.
