Free Webinar To Teach How To Avoid Retirement Planning Mistakes

Free webinar Nov. 4 will help plan for retirement

Liberty Bank for Savings, an $850-million Chicago bank, will sponsor a free retirement planning webinar on Wednesday, Nov. 4, at 7 p.m.

Conducted by Laura La Belle, a certified financial planner and money coach,
6 Retirement Planning Mistakes to Avoid will be available free of charge via laptop or smartphone at www.libertybank.com/lb/money-smarts/. Registration is required. Topics include investment basics, cutting health care costs in retirement, avoiding retirement traps, and retiring on less but enjoying it more.

According to La Belle, there’s no such thing as a future decision about our money. “There are only present decisions that affect our financial future,” she said. The free webinar is designed to help people gain the information to make those decisions.

Kevin Tynan, Senior Vice President of the Chicago-based bank, noted that many Americans who are heading into retirement have only enough money to live for three years. “By offering this 60-minute webinar—which includes time for questions and answers—we can help people better prepare for retirement,” he said.

Liberty provides free money management seminars as a community service. The bank’s Pay Yourself First program at libertybank.com/pay-yourself-first offers a free, easy-to-use automatic savings tool that can not only help put money aside for retirement, but also helps people achieve other financial goals.

Celebrating its 117th anniversary this year, Liberty Bank for Savings provides safe and secure banking services at three northwest Chicago locations including 2392 N. Milwaukee Avenue, 7111 W. Foster Avenue, and 6210 N. Milwaukee Avenue, in addition branches at 6666 N. Lincoln Avenue in Lincolnwood and 1018 Touhy Avenue in Park Ridge.
