Whether you're just starting your career or plotting your exit strategy, it helps to know whether your retirement plans are on track. Kiplinger's is offering you two golden opportunities to get a free financial checkup.
For the sixth time, we are joining with the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA) in sponsoring Kiplinger's Jump-Start Your Retirement Plan Days. From 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. eastern time on Thursday, August 30, NAPFA members across the U.S. will be standing by to answer your questions.
Normally, these fee-only planners, who are well versed in investments, taxes, insurance, estate planning and saving for college and retirement, charge clients $100 to $250 an hour. But on Jump-Start Days, you don't pay a cent -- not even for the phone call. Just dial 888-919-2345 and a NAPFA adviser will respond to your question. Or, if you prefer, you can e-mail your question in August to jumpstart@kiplinger.com and a NAPFA adviser will reply on one of the Jump-Start dates.
To make the most of your financial checkup, gather together any relevant records, such as mutual fund statements or your 401(k) menu of investment choices. If your questions are too complex to be answered on the spot, you may be directed to NAPFA's Web site, where you can look for a planner in your area.
More than 26,000 Kiplinger's readers have participated in past call-in sessions. "For 60 years, Kiplinger's has been answering readers' questions about saving and investing," says editor Fred W. Frailey. "Now it's your chance to get one-on-one advice."
Our retirement hotline is a public service that is offered to all, not just Kiplinger's subscribers. "Volunteer advisers from across the country are prepared to help as many people as possible," says NAPFA chief executive officer Ellen Turf. "It is incredibly satisfying for them to have such a positive impact on so many lives."
