Retirement Planning & Chapter’s Annual Meeting

Benefit from our expert on the retirement process and getting your finances in order.

Join the Maryland Chapter on September 13 to get tips on “Planning for Retirement - Before, During, and Afterwards” and the brief election of Chapter Directors and Officers.

Christi Powell addresses the critical challenges facing today's retirees, including the sobering reality that only 40% of Americans have calculated their retirement savings needs and nearly half don't participate in employer retirement plans. She emphasizes the importance of focusing on controllable factors like savings rates and asset allocation rather than external market forces.

Powell's presentation covers four essential questions for retirement readiness: determining how much you need to save, planning for healthcare costs, strategies for tax reduction, and what to do if you're behind on your retirement goals. She advocates for a disciplined approach centered on establishing clear financial goals, creating personal cash flow budgets, paying yourself first, and the power of compound interest through early and consistent investing.

For those who find themselves underprepared, Powell recommends seeking professional guidance, potentially working longer, and making strategic adjustments rather than panic decisions.

Her practical, no-nonsense approach provides actionable steps for Americans at any stage of their retirement planning journey.
