Join us for this educational event and learn about the four critical components of a successful retirement:

• Inflation: Can erode the "purchasing value" of your money for everyday needs if you are not keeping pace.
• Social Security:  When do I elect and how can I maximize?  What is the solvency of social security, and will benefits exist or be reduced?
• Taxes now and in retirement:  Taxes in retirement accounts can eat away at the value when needed most.  Will taxes rise in the future and will that change the success of retirement?
• Market Volatility and Income Needs:  Loss in the market and creating lifelong income can have a big impact. 

​Presented by David Weyner, Sr. Advisor at U.S.A. Financial & Tax Services LLC.  Following 20 years as a senior corporate executive, since 2012 Mr. Weyner has worked with the Connecticut community with various financial and insurance planning needs.

This month's selection is Fifty Words for Rain by Asha Lemmie. “Do not question. Do not fight. Do not resist.”  Such is eight-year-old Noriko “Nori” Kamiza’s first lesson. The child of a married Japanese aristocrat and her African American GI lover, Nori is an outsider from birth.  Obedient to a fault, Nori accepts her solitary life, despite her natural intellect and curiosity. But when chance brings her older half-brother, Akira, to the estate that is his inheritance and destiny, Nori finds in him an unlikely ally with whom she forms a powerful bond—a bond their formidable grandparents cannot allow and that will irrevocably change the lives they were always meant to lead.

This month's selection is Yes, Chef by Marcus Samuelson.  It begins with a simple ritual: Every Saturday afternoon, a boy who loves to cook walks to his grandmother’s house and helps her prepare a roast chicken for dinner. The grandmother is Swedish, a retired domestic. The boy is Ethiopian and adopted, and he will grow up to become the world-renowned chef Marcus Samuelsson. This book is his love letter to food and family in all its manifestations.
