Building a Confident Retirement: Seminar at Bernardsville Library

If you don't feel confident about reaching your retirement goals, get tips and strategies that can help you plan ahead.

Are you feeling confident about retirement? With the markets and economy changing all the time, you may feel less than confident about reaching your retirement goals, but this seminar at Bernardsville Public Library on Monday, June 15 at 7:00 pm will offer tips and strategies that can help you.

The program will be presented by Keith A. Smith, a Financial Advisor and Certified Financial Planner™ at Smith & Associates, a financial advisory practice of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. He will discuss how to bring your retirement dreams and goals more within reach; how to prioritize your retirement saving and spending plans to address what is most important to you; and how to identify risks that could throw your retirement plans off track. There are four basic principles of retirement, he says: “covering essential expenses, assuring your lifestyle, preparing for the unexpected, and leaving a legacy.” All these should be considered as you plan your post-work life.

There is no charge to attend the program, but advance sign-up is requested. Register online at www.bernardsvillelibrary.org and follow the link from Adult Programs, or call the library at 908-766-0118 to sign up.
