Retirement Cautions and Concerns
Instructor: Jim Sexton III, CFS
You've saved your entire adult life for retirement, but as it approaches, rather than feeling lighthearted anticipation, the anxiety of possibly making disastrous mistakes with your retirement assets overwhelms you. But don't misinterpret that anxiety for simple nervousness about retirement. In fact, it's probably just good common sense, because a mistake in this arena could mean financial catastrophe. Rather than go into your retirement guessing at major decisions, why not get your questions answered? This three-part series will answer questions like: How much will I need to retire on? Which pension option should I choose? What's a Roth IRA and do I need one? Do I need a trust? Investment advisor and Hudson native, James C. Sexton III, will present this series on important retirement and investment topics.
