FFFP: Finding that Sweet Spot when Planning for Retirement of Three

April 2, 2021 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

It’s often true that retirement means stretching income and savings to cover the needs of three people—two parents plus an adult child with a disability.

That’s a big problem for many families. An overwhelming 73% of respondents didn’t have adequate savings for retirement, according to a needs survey conducted by The Arc.

But it’s essential to start, and you need to find the right balance between spending and saving.
No matter how small your savings might be, our guest expert Mark Friese will help in preparing for you and your child’s financial future, covering:

• Getting past the feeling of being overwhelmed
• Kicking off your financial plan
• Legal planning for the future
• Establishing good family communication

Use this vital information to take charge and safeguard your retirement plans.
