Whether you have you recently retired or are you planning to retire, or are changing jobs or facing a layoff, you may be wondering how the recent changes in the tax laws affect your IRA. To get answers to your own questions, please join Chad Teders at one of his IRA seminars as he explains some of the recent changes and first-hand industry experience related to Individual Retirement Plans. The characteristics for the various types of individual retirement accounts (IRAs), common mistakes made when dealing with an IRA or 401(k), and options for your own retirement account will be examined. Specific attention to your plan will help ensure that retirement has you relaxing at the country club and not working to fund your membership!
