Bucks Blog: Pose Retirement Questions to a Financial Planner

You can pose your retirement questions to a certified financial planner for free on Wednesday, during two hourlong online sessions run by the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors and Kiplinger.

During the two Web sessions — at 10 a.m. Eastern time, and at 1 p.m. — you can ask your questions and have them answered by a member of the financial advisers group. Members of the association are fee-only financial advisers, meaning they earn fees from their clients only, rather than earning commissions from selling investments or other products.

The event is the second in a series. A transcript of the questions and answers from the previous session in October is available at Kiplinger’s Web site.

To participate, you can visit the Facebook pages of either the association or Kiplinger.

(You can also read questions and answers or submit questions via the association’s or Kiplinger’s Twitter handles, using the #JumpStartRetire hashtag).

If you miss Wednesday’s session, you can try again at another session on Dec. 14.

Kiplinger and the association will also run two day-long “Jump Start Your Retirement Plan” sessions on Jan. 12 and 17.
