What is the Prosperity Planner?

The Prosperity Planner is an on-line tool that helps identify what wages are needed to cover basic living expenses and what services are available to help increase earnings and achieve economic independence.

The Prosperity Planner uses a built-in calculator to determine the amount of money you must make to achieve economic independence depending upon your family size and where you live. It also tells you what services may be available to reduce expenses, pursue training and achieve your goals.

The Prosperity Planner helps you:
  • Plan and develop career goals so you can work towards a better paying job.
  • Decide if a job you are considering will pay enough to meet your family's needs.
  • Determine if you are eligible for benefits that can help with expenses like health care or child care.
  • Test and compare different work or living options and see how they affect your bottom line.
The Prosperity Planner works best with Internet Explorer. To download Internet Explorer, please click here.
