The quality of your retirement is partially based on how well you plan for it financially. One key element to an educator's retirement strategy is a 403(b) plan, but many educators don't know how a 403(b) works.

This workshop is designed to answer these questions:

• What is a 403(b)?
• What are the benefits of contributing to a plan like this?
• Who qualifies to use a 403(b) plan?
• How can I make contributions to it?

This workshop is designed to teach you about your State Teachers’ Retirement System (STRS), a key component of your retirement planning. No matter how far you are from retirement, this workshop can benefit you.

Discussion topics include:

• the benefits your STRS provides;
• how your retirement income is determined; and
• how your STRS income should fit into your overall retirement strategy.

Horace Mann understands teachers just entering the profession need more information on how to meet financial goals.  If you attend our workshop on financial success, you'll learn about a variety of topics including: 

• developing positive spending habits;
• establishing good credit;
• the importance of a good credit score;
• protecting assets; and
• saving and preparing for retirement.
