The Daily Bruin

No matter where you are in life, a session with Eric Proctor can help you create a plan for your goals. And it’s at no additional cost as a part of your retirement plan.

Come to one of our sessions on April 30, May 1 or May 2 in Roberts Center 180 and Stevens Center 202.

You will get answers to questions like these:

• Am I invested in the right mix of investments to help meet my goals?
• Am I saving enough to create the retirement income I need?
• How do I take income from my retirement account once I stop working?

RSVP here today, as space is limited.
