- Planning for healthcare in retirement
- Making sense of your pension options

I'm young and haven't thought about retirement yet. Why should I attend one of your events?

Starting early is key to a secure retirement. Our workshops can help you understand the basics of saving, investing, and make informed financial decisions now that will benefit you in the long run.

I'm feeling overwhelmed by all the financial information out there. Can you help me simplify it?

That is THE GOAL. Our workshops break down complex financial concepts into easy-to-understand terms and help you develop a personalized plan based on your unique circumstances.

I'm not sure if I'm on track for my retirement goals. Can you help me assess my progress?

Our workshops, seminars, and webinars will provide a good foundation for education, but to truly evaluate your goals on an individual basis, we encourage attendees to meet individually with the instructor of the course. These professionals will typically make some time available to meet with people individually to discuss planning goals.

Given the complex nature of many topics, our instructors will likely discuss areas such as estate planning or tax planning at a high level. To assess your current situation in relation to these topics, you may need to speak to licensed individuals that specialize in that area. Feel free to ask our instructors if they can advise on specific topics or if they can direct you to a local licensed professional in that area.

I'm scared I won't have enough money to retire comfortably. How do I know if I can retire?

We understand that concern. In fact, it’s one of the biggest concerns soon-to-be retirees have. Our workshops offer practical strategies for maximizing your retirement income and making your nest egg last throughout retirement. Our professionals will work with you to help you to build a retirement income plan that provides you with greater confidence in your retirement plan.

I'm getting close to retirement; where do I start?

Don't worry, we're here to help! Our workshops provide guidance on transitioning to retirement, claiming Social Security and Medicare, choosing the right investment strategies for your retiree lifestyle, and navigating healthcare options.

I already work with a financial advisor; should I still attend?

Retirement planning and personal finance is a lifelong learning journey! We offer workshops on a wide range of topics, like managing your retirement income, finding purpose and staying active in retirement, and navigating healthcare changes as you age. Just like doctors, lawyers, auto mechanics, and just about every other profession, you may find that a second opinion provides you with a greater degree of confidence about your future. In other words, YES, you are welcome!

what makes our events unique?

Your Goals, Your Dreams, Your Ideal Retirement

Many financial seminars and webinars offer good information but forget that your vision of the ideal retirement is what should drive your financial planning.

Our events are led by instructors coached to help you define your ideal retirement and show you paths to work towards it. These aren't your average retirement planning events. Retirement Design Lab offers live, interactive events both in-person and online, where your questions and curiosities are welcomed. Our instructors focus on education, empowerment, and helping you work towards your retirement.

Our Retirement Event Instructors

Our team of experienced instructors have been helping people understand their retirement options for many years. They have a wealth of knowledge in the financial services industry and a deep understanding of long-term financial planning. They are passionate about helping people reach their goals and objectives.
