The Workshop

Preparing For The Future In Retirement : Friday, September 26, 2025 09:00A

(This workshop is presented AT NO CHARGE as a separate add-on session for retired law enforcement officers and members of the community. Attendance is restricted to the first 30 registrants. Registration information is available by CLICKING HERE)

It's never too early to begin preparing for Retirement! We are living longer in retirement. Time spent in retirement could exceed our working years. It's important to think about and consider making a plan to make sure your income lasts throughout your working years.

Preparing for the future means building momentum toward whatever you want to pursue. Your retirement years bring the promise of realizing the goals you worked so hard to reach, but they also come with a host of questions. And your company retirement plan is only one piece of the retirement planning puzzle. And people who are done with corporate or government life, but who have grown weary of the retired life as well, sometimes find themselves in an in-between state, not finished but not knowing where to go.

In this session we'll examine:
• The modern retiree lifestyle
• Taking stock of expenses in Retirement
• Examining Health Care costs in Retirement
• Strategies to consider for Social Security
• Explore ways to maintain a positive mental disposition in retirement
• Cover effective tools to handle emotions of loss, lack of purpose, boredom, and discontentment
• Review ways to grow wealth in retirement that don’t sacrifice your downtime, and allow your financial instruments to grow as you age, allowing you to leave a legacy not just live out your days.

You can thrive in retirement.
