Retirement Income Planning“Creating Your Personal Pension”
Instructor: Frank Finch
The media speaks often about the retirement
crisis facing Americans. This class attacks that
crisis by arming attendees with an action plan for

having to work. Along with social security benefits,
money in annuities, IRAs, 401(k)s, 403(b)s, CDs
and cash, can all be used to create an income plan
to fund the retirement of your dreams. In an era
where many traditional corporate pension plans are
closing, a wise retirement income plan is essential.
This timely class will help attendees to understand
how annuities and other investments can create
your “personal pension”, a retirement income
stream to give piece of mind.
