Surviving retirement
An evening presentation — Start Living: Surviving Retirement — will take place Wednesday, Nov. 16, 6 p.m., in the senior center lounge.
Volunteers with OneSource Senior Living will address five key questions that every person should ask before retirement:
- What’s the grand plan?
- Do you have the cash?
- Should you move?
- When should you sell your home?
- Have you made an estate plan?
Although approaching retirement may be overwhelming at first, if you answer these five questions, you're well on your way to generating a solid retirement plan.
OneSource Senior Living is a Connecticut-based nonprofit organization committed to informing and engaging the aging community by approaching challenges through a coordinated consideration of both longevity and retirement planning.
This is an educational event only; no services or products will be sold. Although this is a free seminar, registration is necessary in order to prepare the workshop materials. Call 203-834-6240 to reserve a place.
Medicare Part D
Seniors wishing to review their Medicare Part D plan may schedule an appointment with Ellen Abend, a Choices volunteer, on Thursdays from 10 to 1, through Dec. 1. The open enrollment period ends Dec. 7. Call Debbie Wolyniec at 203-834-6238.
