Have you been saving for retirement but are uncertain of the results? Do you wonder about products available to invest your savings and reach retirement and other lifetime goals? How do you assess if you are on track? Would you like to learn some strategies to strengthen your retirement plan and reduce taxes? This class is a continuation of Principles for a Successful Retirement that addresses financial topics for women in depth: analysis of types of accounts available to save and invest for retirement, investment products offered to fund retirement, estimating medical costs in retirement, exploring insurance options to cover long term care expenses, maximizing social security benefits and other important strategies to reduce taxes in retirement. This class is not a sales pitch for any product or company, but a framework to understand the various financial products and strategies that are available to meet financial planning needs. The instructor will explain their purpose, when these products can be useful, when they are not effective and try to help students solve some of the questions that come with financial planning early as well as in retirement. Bring your questions! We all learn from each other’s experiences.
