Prosper and Boulevard R on pesonal finance May 30, 2007

Join Get on Track for Retirement and Shira Levine from Prosper for an educational night of how to diversify your retirement investments through lending money to other people. The upside, particularly for those of us who are trying to catch up, is that rates of return are significantly higher than money market funds or CDs (though risk is also higher, naturally).

Following Shira's presentation, there will be a short demo of a interactive new virtual retirement coach developed by Boulevard R that is in private beta. Everyone who comes will get information on how to access this service and use it from home.

Guest speaker: Shira Levine, Prosper's Community Marketing Director.

Prosper (www.prosper.com) is America's first person-to-person lending website, like an eBay for loans. In just over a year, Prosper has facilitated over $60 Million in loans to over 10,000 people.

Everyone who comes will learn how to transfer funds into Prosper, how to search and bid on listings, how to read Prosper?s performance data, and more. Meet others already using Prosper to learn more.

Refreshments will be served and Starbucks gift cards will be given to the first 3 people who show up.

This event is open so please invite your friends and family. Kindly RSVP (matt.DontIncludeThisiverson@gmail.com) so we know how much food to bring.

Don't miss out- these are two great presentations that will help you take concrete steps to get on track for retirement.

Hope to see you there!
