The AARP is sponsoring two free retirement workshops in Hilo and Kona to help people of all ages secure their financial futures. The workshops will be held on Saturday and Sunday, March 23 and 24.
People in their 20s or 30s may benefit from the workshop as much as older attendees within 10 years of retirement.
The workshops will be led by AARP volunteer Ed Hickey who will outline a plan for attendees to stay fiscally solvent through their elder years. Anyone can attend.
