With the decline of pension plans that pay a guaranteed lifetime income starting at retirement, many people have become responsible for financing their own retirement. While governments do provide a base pension, it is typically insufficient to pay for retirement. Fortunately, there are some tools available to help people accumulate savings and invest for retirement while earning an income. In this presentation our featured speaker, Paul Kaplan, will go over the various tools available and how to put them together to successfully fund one’s retirement.
