    SAVING FOR RETIREMENT
  One to Two Hour Workshop
 

This workshop will help you visualize your retirement life. When do you plan to retire? Where do you want to live? Will you stay in your current home or move to another home or even another location? How will you spend your time in retirement? Maybe you want to work part time? Would you like to volunteer in the community? Is your retirement dream to travel as much as possible?

These questions are not easy to answer and will impact how much you need to save for retirement. Estimating how much money you will need each year to make your retirement vision a reality will be discussed. You will have a chance to complete the American Savings Education Council’s “Ballpark Estimate,” a quick and easy worksheet for estimating retirement income needs. The “Ballpark Estimate” will help you determine how much you need to save annually and each month.
