Free Advice from Financial Planners
Advisers will be online February 16 to answer your money and retirement questions on Facebook, Twitter and Kiplinger.com for free.

On the road to retirement, sometimes you need to stop to ask for directions.
GO TO: Kiplinger's Jump-Start Your Financial Plan Chat
We recently heard from a young college graduate named Liz, whose employer doesn’t offer a 401(k) or other retirement plan. Liz had no idea how or where to start saving for retirement – but, to her credit, she wasn’t embarrassed to ask for help. We pointed her to Kiplinger.com’s free, live chats with financial planners from the National Association of Personal Finance Advisors (NAPFA), and during our Jan. 12 chat Liz asked about her options. A month later, she is now saving via her own Roth IRA.
