I recently got to take a retirement finances course from the local Society for Financial Awareness (SOFA [1]) person. They're totally non-profit, the classes are free, and (as was the case with the guy who taught the classes I took) they can't reveal who they work for, if it's in the financial arena.
The classes were informative, and covered a lot of things I hadn't taken into account for retirement. So I recommend them highly... as is said in the article above, many people are lazy about preparing. It's worth fixing that now, wherever you are with respect to retirement.

- hammock 9y agoCan you give examples of something you hadn't considered?
- wisty 9y agoI'm guessing it's something like "X has certain tax implications, so if you are in situation Y then maybe Z is better". It's often fairly specific though. Which is why it's not much good hearing what someone else got out of it.
- smileysteve 9y agoThe primary thing taught about retirement planning is the power of compound interest. And creating a budget to save enough to live x years on money in low yield low risk bonds.
