Join Certified Financial Planner™ Karen Chan to help you decide when is the "right" time to retire. Karen's presentation will help shine a light on this important life decision.
There’s a lot of talk about “the number” – the specific amount of money you need to retire. But thinking about retirement involves more than just one number. In this session, Karen Chan will talk about assessing your overall financial picture and gathering all the pieces of information that will help you make an informed decision.
