Rolek Retirement Strategies Presents Retirement Planning Course at LaSalle University

PHILADELPHIA, Penn (PRWEB) October 31, 2016

Kyle Rolek CFP® of Rolek Retirement Strategies will be instructing "Retirement Planning Today," an adult learning program and workshop to be scheduled at a variety of colleges in the Philadelphia area. The first program will be held in November at LaSalle University's Bucks County Center in Newtown, Pennsylvania.

Retirement planning in today's economic environment poses challenges that most aging Americans don't foresee. Through this formal adult learning program, Rolek--a certified financial planner--brings his expertise in retirement planning into the classroom to help re-retirees and newly retired individuals empower themselves to make informed decisions regarding their financial future.

Retirement Planning Today (RPT) teaches pre-retirees (age 50-70) how to plan a successful retirement that focuses on sound financial strategies that help them gain a clear understanding of recent tax changes, building a nest egg, protecting assets from potential long-term health expenses, managing investment risks and more.

The two-day RTP course addresses financial issues pertaining to the self-employed as well as employees of corporations and government agencies. Course attendees learn how to build wealth and assess their financial situation to develop a personalized plan to achieve their individual goals for retirement. Rolek, a certified financial planner and fiduciary, brings his expertise in retirement planning to the classroom to help pre-retirees make informed decisions regarding their future after leaving the workplace.

According to Rolek, the course has something for everyone, whether they're recently retires, planning to retire next year or in 20 years.

"The information participants learn in this class can serve them throughout their lifetime," Rolek says.
