Anyone call for a crusty skeptic?
There are a lot of retirement seminars out there,
many of them are designed to separate you
from your money.
Some are legit. "Some" being the key word.
I get junk in the mail every week promising a
free prime rib dinner just to attend a quick
30 minute retirement seminar. Uh huh.
they're like time share cons only worse.
Don't agree to pay anyone to manage anything for you and
certainly don't buy any books or subscriptions to web-based services.
If the people who write financial books knew anything
about retirement (or real estate), they'd be be too busy
getting rich to sell books.
Or earning commissions on expensive "medicare advantage" plans.
First rule of retirement:
you worked hard to get your money, don't give it away.
There is nothing you can find in a seminar that isn't
easily available on the internet.
Including scams.
