Why this class is important...

Today’s retirement landscape is vastly different from decades past. With constant tax law changes, an uncertain future for health care and Social Security, the shift toward employee-directed retirement plans, and the probable onset of widespread changes in the U.S. government, the need for sound retirement strategies has never been greater.

"The class was informative, organized, well presented, held my attention and was well worth the time. Several issues were brought to light that we had not considered. I highly recommend the class." - Karen G
