Workshop Series Description

Today’s Retirees face financial challenges that previous generations could not even imagine. Financing personal healthcare, legal issues, investments, IRA’s and tax issues can all be complex and intimidating. Having a basic understanding of these issues and assessing one’s circumstances is critical to those who wish to enjoy financial security in retirement.

The target audience for this series is retired (generally 62 to 65+) or near-retired persons (generally 55+). This series is also appropriate for adult caregivers, associated professionals (attorneys and accountants) or others who may deal with financial issues in retirement.

The Presenter

Kurt W. Kushner, is a business school graduate of Penn State and The University of Scranton in addition to completing post graduate studies from Marywood University.  He has an extensive list of noteworthy achievements specific to the financial services industry including the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification and the Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC®), and Accredited Investment Fiduciary (AIF®) designations.  This training and the more than 20 years of practical hands-on experience as an advisor and coach of other advisors has taught Kurt the fundamental importance of listening as the most necessary skill in helping clients achieve their financial goals. But perhaps it was Kurt’s work as a Jesuit missionary volunteer in the Pacific Islands of Micronesia, where he taught high school Math and Economics to indigenous youths from many diverse nation states, that most instilled his life-long philosophy of “service to others”.  This passion to share his knowledge and experience with others has allowed him to become a prolific, energetic, and stimulating educator on a variety of wealth management topics from social security maximization to mass affluent wealth transfer strategies.
