What is Retirement Planning 101 Anyway?
We’re hosting a free two-hour, intensive, hands-on retirement financial planning workshop at WMU Fetzer Center, Kalamazoo Valley Community College, and other locations throughout the Southwest, MI area.
Achieve Financial Confidence in Retirement
Our Retirement 101 course is a hands-on, in-depth look into the many nuances of retirement financial planning. Unlike other seminars that review basic principles, we focus on the important topics you need to understand to build a successful retirement plan and achieve financial security in retirement. We’ll review some actual case studies from our wealth management team and give you the opportunity to ask specific questions about your financial future.
Everyone who attends is eligible to receive a free, no-obligation, in-depth written retirement plan, tailored to your specific goals.
