Abstract

ABSTRACT

 This community service aims to educate church members who are entering retirement in preparing their finances. This activity was carried out together with the GKJ Juwiring Klaten Adult Citizens Commission. The Adult Citizens Commission is a commission that covers the age category from 26 years to 59 years. This community service is motivated by the large number of adults approaching retirement age. Financial literacy is still lacking and there are thoughts about preparing finances before retirement. The method used in this activity is a question and answer seminar. The resource person provides explanations, tips and tricks, then participants are given time to ask questions guided by the moderator. The initial stage to start activities and choose a topic, the team visited the chairman of the adult community commission to get information about existing needs or problems. The topics chosen are in accordance with the needs of the participants. As a result of this activity, adults have knowledge of literacy and the importance of preparing financially for retirement. The resource person gave tips on preparing finances, for example by starting to increase your income, investing in the business you control, setting aside current income and so on. It is hoped that after this activity participants will start to think about managing their current finances. This collaboration will continue in the future with other topics. Topics that can be raised include choosing appropriate investments, financial management for housewives, how to increase income and be productive in old age. The service team is open to other discussions so that activities are right on target and help provide solutions for users.
