TAX DIVERSIFYING YOUR INCOME IN RETIREMENT  

Retirement isn’t what it used to be—especially with people living longer and spending more of their lives as retirees. With fewer companies offering pensions, and Social Security facing an uncertain future, the way we fund our retirement is changing, too.  And tax rates? While they may be at historic lows now, there’s no telling where they’ll be in the future and how they’ll impact your retirement income. So, how can you keep more of the savings you’ve worked a lifetime to enjoy?  This seminar will cover: • Why you should tax diversify your retirement portfolio • Where your retirement income may come from • What impact taxes can have on your retirement lifestyle • How nontraditional options can supplement your retirement income.
