Presented by Baird
Take charge of your finances and get equipped with the facts you need to prepare for a financially secure retirement. Learn why having a financial plan is not just for the 1%. This 2-class course will teach you how to maximize your income and get more from your investments. Learn how to protect your hard-earned money from inflation, income taxes and potential long-term health care needs. Get educated on essential estate planning topics such as wills, trusts, and powers of attorney. This course is designed for those approaching
retirement and those who have recently transitioned into retirement.
The Informed Investor: Retirement Planning for Financial Success has been created by experts in personal money management education. You will walk through real-life examples that apply to your situation. Attendees may participate and are encouraged to ask questions.
This course may be for you if you are nearing retirement, already retired, or beginning to develop a retirement plan and are interested in learning about concepts and strategies for retirement success. These strategies can help you make the appropriate choices when confronted by investment alternatives, insurance coverage, increasing health care costs, tax reduction methods, and proper disposition of your estate at death. It is never too late to begin retirement planning!
Unlike many free, one- to two-hour workshops that promote specific financial products, Retirement Planning for Financial Success is completely educational.
The information you receive is objective and factual, without any references to specific financial products. This course introduces concepts and strategies that may help you make informed financial decision.
However, if you want to discuss specific financial products and services, you may do so during the optional retirement planning consultation.
