Join host of the Top Gun Retirement Show Alan Kifer in discovering need-to-know retirement concepts that are affecting Americans today. The Baby Boomer population (born between 1946 and 1964) in America alone exceeds 100 million. About 20 million have turned 72 and have begun the process of taking Mandatory Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) from their Tax-Defined Retirement accounts: IRAs, 401(k)s, 403(b)s, 457s, SEPS. This forced annual liquidation will continue to cause increasing stress to the financial markets.
On the show, Alan, a 31+ year experienced financial advisor, shares how we can win at retirement despite the coming uncertainties. He holds degrees/certificates in all eight special disciplines in financial planning, is an internationally-recognized speaker, author and educator, and also the creator of Succeeding at the Business of Retirement.
Main Stage presentations include Harvard Business School and the U.S. Military Academy at West Point along with numerous television segments on Fox, CBS, ABC and NBC.
It’s that time of the year. We have spring cleaning, taxes, and college basketball on our minds. Alan addresses it all in linking college basketball strategies to proper financial and retirement planning. He also reminds us that this is a good time to look at performing a “deep clean” in our financial lives.
