Once again this year, Kiplinger's is joining forces with the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA) to sponsor Kiplinger's Jump-Start Your Retirement Plan Days.
From 9 a.m. until 6 pm. eastern time on Friday, January 27, NAPFA members across the U.S. will be standing by to take your calls and answer your questions. NAPFA members are comprehensive, fee-only financial advisers. Normally, these planners charge clients $100 to $250 an hour. But on Jump-Start Days, you pay nothing -- not even for the phone call. Just dial 888-919-2345.
Thousands of Kiplinger's readers have taken advantage of Jump-Start Days in past years to get advice: Is my money invested properly? What kind of IRA is best, a traditional IRA or a Roth? How can I save for my retirement and my kids' college expenses at the same time? Can I count on social security? Should I buy an annuity? Is there any way to cut my taxes in retirement?
