Financial Wellness Day: Plan Today, Retire Confidently
Wednesday, October 28, 2026 | 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. | War Memorial
Between work, family, and everything else on your plate, your finances don’t always get the attention they deserve. That’s why we’re hosting our first Baltimore City Employees’ Financial Wellness Day. It’s a day set aside just for you.
This is your chance to step away from the daily to-do list and focus on your money in a relaxed, judgment-free space. You’ll be able to sit down with pension representatives, retirement specialists, and City benefits experts who are there to answer your questions and help you plan today so you can feel more confident about tomorrow.
Sessions for Every Stage of Your Career
The day is organized into three sessions, each built around where you are in your career. Every session includes a presentation, time for questions and one-on-one conversations, and an interactive game that puts real-life money decisions into practice.
9:00 – 11:00 a.m. | Jump-Start Your Money Journey (up to age 39)
Learn the basics of income, expenses, debt, credit, and emergency savings in plain language. You’ll discover simple ways to make each paycheck go further, see how small contributions to the City’s deferred compensation plan today can open up more options later, and leave with a few easy steps you can take this month.
11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. | Your Mid-Career Money Checkup (ages 40–54)
Get a clear, honest picture of where you stand with retirement and your other big goals. Talk through everyday trade-offs like housing, family needs, debt, and college costs, and learn straightforward ways to increase contributions, use catch-up features if you’re eligible, and fine-tune your investments.
2:00 – 4:00 p.m. | From Paycheck to Retirement Paycheck (ages 55 and up)
Explore how Social Security, your City pension, and your retirement savings work together to create income you can count on. Understand key timing decisions, get practical guidance on health care and other major retirement costs, and focus on the steps that matter most right now.
Plus Games, Prizes, and Refreshments
Along with expert guidance, there will be games, prizes, and refreshments throughout the day. Bring your questions, and bring a coworker too.
