Retirement Workshop
October 8, 2015 | 5:30 - 6:45 p.m.
JOIN US FOR AN EDUCATIONAL SEMINAR Presented by Youth Services, Tulsa Community Foundation and more than 50 other community organizations Tuesday, September 29, 2015 - 8:30 to 9:45 am or Thursday, October 8, 2015 - 5:30 to 6:45 pm Whether you are building for retirement or already retired, this workshop is for you! Sixty-three percent of all U.S. households have established a retirement plan, but while retirement accounts provide significant advantages that allow individuals to save for retirement, they are a problematic asset to leave to surviving spouses and heirs. Furthermore, you don't want to be left guessing about how to maximize Social Security benefits - when to file, how to file, the taxation of benefits, etc. Through estate planning, these problems can be addressed. This free workshop will provide insight on the decisions one should make concerning retirement and social security while addressing common estate planning concerns. Heavy hors d'oeuvres will be available. Please RSVP to Youth Services of Tulsa, Suzy Sharp, Director of Development at eat1@eau1eav1eaw1 or 918-382-4401
