Retirement Planning

I received a flyer in the mail today advertising a retirement planning class at the local community college. I live very close to Santiago Canyon College, and they have many continuing education classes for adults. The class is six hours long, spread over two Wednesday nights. It is taught by Pure Financial Advisors and costs $49. I believe you will get a textbook and some free consultation time. I am sure they will try to sell you advisory services but hopefully I can learn some concepts. I have worked in finance for almost thirty years, but not really focused on investments and retirement. In addition, I have a couple of investment advisors already, but they do not explain the reasoning behind their decisions very well.

The class size is twenty people, and so far, there are only two people enrolled, including me. They said you can bring your spouse/partner/guest to attend the class as well. I hope they do teach some valuable information instead of just trying to sell services.
