downturn in the market. We’ll cover the retirement process including SWPT, PBGC and Social Se-

curity and the resources you have available to make the best decisions possible. Have you consid-

ered an annuity but aren’t sure if it’s the best investment for you? Perhaps you’re trying to figure out

investment for part of your retirement nest egg after learning what kinds of annuities there are and

why they may not be the best investment for everyone. Learn valuable tips regarding where the best

states to retire are based on your sources of retirement income. We will discuss specific strategies

that will allow you to protect your hard earned retirement savings in the event you need Medicaid

assistance. Finally, students will learn what retirement options are available to ensure you maximize

the benefits you've earned rather than leave money on the table. Are you serious about making sure

your money lasts longer than you do? This three week class will help you make sure you’re making
