Financial Strategies for Retirement® • Fall 2026

Do You Have Enough to Retire?

How long will your money last? Are you paying the IRS more than you legally have to? Answer all your retirement questions in one class.

Attending the retirement classes at FAN provided me with a much clearer understanding of how to structure a tax-efficient withdrawal strategy.

Brad, FAN Client

I decided to use FAN while attending one of their retirement classes after I saw the benefits of an integrated approach.

What You’ll Learn

Six topic areas, taught in sequence.

The Truth About Social Security

What waiting is actually worth, and how to provide the biggest benefit to your surviving spouse.

Portfolio Risk & Diversification

Hidden investment costs, market assumptions, and the difference between a fiduciary and a broker.

Healthcare Costs

Medicare, disability income, and how to evaluate long-term care insurance before you need it.

Legacy & Estate Expenses

The top ten estate planning mistakes, beneficiary choices, and using real estate to generate income.

Who should attend

Best suited for those approaching or newly in retirement, typically with $1M or more in investable assets. We strongly encourage couples to attend together — teamwork is key in retirement.

  • Every session of the course, taught in person
  • A colorful, in-depth seminar workbook you keep
  • The Retirement Planning Data Form — your own written inventory of assets, income, Social Security, and pension benefits
  • Live Q&A with your instructors across every session
  • No sales presentation. It’s a class. What you do afterward is up to you.
