What misconceptions do you hold about retirement planning? To have an active retirement plan, you need to have the right financial advisor to manage your investment. 

It is important to settle down with an advisor you’re comfortable with, and that aligns with your philosophy. To debunk these misconceptions, you have to do your research and ask the right questions, so they don’t cost you in the future.

In this episode of the Secure Your Retirement podcast, we debunk four costly misconceptions about retirement planning. Listen in to understand these misconceptions at a more detailed level and how to avoid them when looking to invest in your retirement plan.  

In this episode, find out:

• Understand what you’re getting from the fees you’re paying and ask questions.
