About Betty Meredith, CFA, CFP®, CRC®
Growing up in a blue-collar family where Dad worked seven days a week and ultimately died in an industrial ac
cident on a Sunday morning, I know the challenges the middle market faces in trying to save enough for retirement. However, savings are only part of a secure retirement; key decisions such as when to retire, when to take Social Security, how to choose Medicare plans, whether or not to work part-time to phase into retirement, how to address medical and long-term care costs, whether or not to use home equity in a retirement income plan, how to take withdrawals from tax-deferred savings to minimize taxes and increase asset longevity, how to create additional lifetime income, etc. all affect how long retirement savings will last and one’s quality of retirement.
The bottom line: Our goal is to make the insight and guidance of today’s leading experts cost-effectively available to you through live, rebroadcast and on-demand webinars so consumers can become prepared to work with advisors, and advisors more effectively identify and serve the retirement planning needs of their clients.
On behalf of our staff and speakers, we’re glad you found us, and we look forward to being of service!
