Do you know what the main sources of retirement income are, and whether you are on track in saving for your retirement? What types of savings vehicl...es are available to individuals, including those who do not have employer-provided plans? Are you tracking your Social Security earnings? How might life events, such as starting a new job, getting married, having a baby, getting divorced, becoming widowed or disabled, and losing your job, affect your retirement savings? What should you know about accessing money from your retirement account before you retire? Do you know how taxes will affect your retirement income? How does the current retirement system impact women differently than men?
A question and answer session will follow the presentations.
Join us to hear the following speakers discuss how to manage your retirement savings:About the speakers
