Will your taxes affect your retirement? Join me on March 6th for a free workshop I am hosting where I will discuss that very question! When you retire, you leave behind many things—the daily grind, the commute to work, and maybe even your previous home. However, one thing that will always remain is your tax bill. When you understand how investments are taxed and set strategies accordingly, you can make the right decisions that help keep income taxes in check. Want to join me? Here are the details: Friday, March 6th - there will be two sessions, 11:30am & 1pm - at the Franklin Public Library. Sign up via the links below or call our office at 262-679-3280. 11:30am session: https://bit.ly/4tlMJ6H 1pm session: https://bit.ly/3ZSTdMU No products will be sold.
