Retirement Questions and Answers


What will I discover?

How to retire smart! Together, we will evaluate challenges retirees and pre- retirees face in this day and age. Our goal is to arm you with the tools to start preparing for the retirement you’ve envisioned — confidently.

Where are the classes held?

Most retirement courses are taught at a local college or university classroom, library, or training center. The class venue will vary depending on your location.

What is the commitment if I register?

A commitment to attend and participate! Classes can fill up quickly, leaving hopeful attendees on a waitlist, so we ask that registrants let us know as soon as possible should a schedule conflict arise.

Who teaches the class?

You’ll find your instructor is a licensed financial professional (and some are also registered representatives and/or investment advisors), is well-versed in the course subject matter, and has a true passion for teaching others critical information pertinent in today’s new reality and providing retirement services.

How long will each class last?

Classes typically last 1-2 hours. Check course offerings in your area for more information.

Is anything for sale?

No, there is nothing to be bought. This is purely an educational course. If you wish to gain more information on strategies to help with retirement, you may be able to schedule an outside, confidential appointment with your local insurance professional.
