Do you have a strategy in place for financing your retirement? The workshop, Planning and Saving for Retirement, will provide a foundation to get your plan off the ground. While relevant to all future retirees, this workshop has been developed for farm women. Cornell Cooperative Extension will host Andrew Polley, Financial Advisor with Wells Fargo Advisors on February 17th from 10:30 am to 3 pm at the Cornell Cooperative Extension office in Tompkins County located at 615 Willow Ave. Arrive at 10:30 to enjoy refreshments and fellowship.

The goal of this workshop is to present a framework for retirement planning, and to encourage participants to maximize opportunities with a sound financial plan. The challenges of making income last a lifetime will be stressed.

Topics to be addressed include: Estimating the Amount of Money needed for Retirement, How to make your money work for you, an overview of investment instruments and investment strategies as well as taxable and tax-deferred portfolios, withdrawing money and ways to control risks.
