Topics presented at the workshops include:

>> Secure Your Financial Future: Review the different ways to save, invest and manage your money. An important part of securing your future includes figuring out how much money you’ll need to live a comfortable and healthy lifestyle as you grow older.

>> How to Maximize Your Social Security:  The decision on when to claim Social Security depends on your circumstances. However, people who claim the retirement benefit at age 62, will likely get 76 percent less money than if you wait to claim Social Security at age 70.

>> Introduction toMedicare: Medicare can be a happy birthday present when you turn 65. But you need to take the time to understand the different parts of the program and what they provide.

Both workshops are free and you don’t have to be an AARP member to attend. There’s no age limit or minimum. People in their 20s or 30s will benefit from the workshop as much as older attendees within 10 years of retirement. 

No personal financial advice will be given and no products or services promoted or sold. The workshop is just about helping you plan for your future.
