Financial Planning Association Launches VoiceAmerica Internet Radio Program

Program Hosted by David Yeske and Sponsored by FPA's PlannerSearch

DENVER, Sept. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- The Financial Planning Association(R) (FPA(R)) will be launching a 13-week radio show September 13 on the VoiceAmerica Business Channel at http://www.business.voiceamerica.com/. The show, titled Financial Planning Perspectives, will be hosted by David Yeske, CFP(R), former president of FPA and will be sponsored by FPA's PlannerSearch. The show will air every Tuesday at 7 am PST.

"Navigating the sea of options, selections, and considerations when it comes to managing finances is not easy to do alone," said Yeske. "Between Social Security Reform, rising health care costs, debt management and college planning, it can seem insurmountable. On Financial Planning Perspectives, I hope to clear the fog of confusion and provide guidance through these important choices."

On the September 13 show, Yeske will share how to avoid the most common mistakes in retirement planning and provide tips to use for future plans. Future shows will address why you need an estate plan and how to determine if you are getting the most from your 401(k).

"I'm excited that FPA will be producing Financial Planning Perspectives," said FPA President James A. Barnash, CFP(R). "VoiceAmerica is the industry leader in Internet-based talk radio and we hope to be able to reach the masses through VoiceAmerica with how financial planning can really help people reach their financial goals and dreams.
