Description

Learn about the most common roadblocks to retirement-planning success and how to avoid them. 

Explore how to use stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other investments to pursue your retirement goals. Find out about proven strategies that will arm you with the information you need to make good retirement decisions. You may bring your spouse or a guest to class at no extra cost.

Question from Vanessa L.
Is there a syllabus outlining what will be taught in the class broken down by sessions? Thank you,
Answer from Nancy J. Verified Student
Yes, but it's distributed on the first day. It's broken down by types of retirement plans (401K), different investments, estate planning, etc. You'll know what to expect all proceeding sessions.
