By the end of the three sessions, participants will gain:

• an understanding of their income, debt, and budget before and during retirement;

Topics such as states of retirement, retiring without debt, sources of retirement income, investment basics, strategies to navigate taxes, estate planning, insurance, and resources will be discussed.  This is a real-time, online, interactive course.  All three sessions are required to complete the course.  A link to the course, along with further details will be provided prior to the first session in the series.
