We Take the Confusion Out Of Retirement Planning.
Our Simplify Your Retirement® educational events are designed to teach you the principles of retirement planning and how to set retirement goals. We cover the challenges retirees face and how to address them, as well as a simple and effective “Three Bucket Approach” to financial planning in your retirement years.
Retirement Seminars
The Retirement Freedom Plan Dinner Seminars serve as an introduction to Wise Wealth, an education-based financial planning firm. Ideally, these seminars are designed for people within 5-10 years of retirement up to the first 5-10 years in retirement. These seminars have been developed to inform and educate participants on the key risks that must be addressed in a retirement plan, the necessity of having a plan, the principles of retirement planning, and a roadmap on how to put together a retirement income plan that leads to freedom and confidence.
Who Should Attend?
Anyone in what we call the “CRITICAL 15” — those within 5-10 years of retirement or within the first 5-10 years of retirement.
