Course Overview

If you were planning a trip, you would use a GPS or map to get to your destination safely, wouldn't you?

Far too many people venture onto Retirement Highway without checking their GPS to see where there might be a roadblock impeding their progress – and they find themselves stuck with many obstacles unclear where to go and how to arrive safely.

There are a lot of competing demands on your time, and your money, while you’re working.  Understand you can only spend what you save in retirement, so this has got to be a priority.  You don’t want to get distracted, and you want to avoid overspending.

This CPE Finance webinar will point out the roadblocks to retirement and answer the following questions:

  • Are you saving enough? 
  • Are you investing too aggressively or too conservatively? 
  • Are you even serious about saving? 
  • Are there other important things you should be doing to prepare for a smooth transition to retirement?

There are four important planning steps every person planning to retire at some point in their life should pay attention to.  These four roadblocks can halt your progress, or force an unplanned detour, that cost you time and money.

Join this CPE webinar by Drew Stevens, it will give you the education, confidence, and action steps needed to get to your retirement destination.
