Thrifty Thinking: Jump-Start Your Retirement Plan

Kiplinger’s Personal Finance and the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA), in association with the NAPFA Consumer Education Foundation, are teaming up to sponsor Jump-Start Your Retirement Plan Days—two opportunities to make sure Americans are well-equipped for their golden years. NAPFA financial advisors will answer retirement questions for free on February 7 and February 12, 2013, from 9am-5pm EST.
 
There will be four separate chat rooms—each hosted by expert financial advisors—to provide more specific answers to questions across an array of topics:

• Taxes and Retirement— including gift taxes, estate taxes and wills.
• Saving for Retirement— IRAs, Roth IRAs and 401(k)s for those building a retirement nest egg.
• Income in Retirement— Social Security and income investing strategies for those in retirement and about to retire.
• Other financial challenges— from investing to saving for college to paying down debt.
