Live Virtual Workshops
Learn the ins and outs of planning your retirement
It’s your future – and you’re worth it!
No matter where you are in your career – just starting, somewhere in the middle, or about to retire – attending one of my workshops is a must. I’ve got a range of topic specific workshops to suit both federal employees and everyone else that will teach you everything you need to know about retirement and federal benefits. You’ll have access to a chat room where you can ask questions and get your answers throughout the session. And the best part? You won’t need special software, just access to the internet – plus you can log in on any type of mobile device.
It’s okay to feel overwhelmed
I know how you feel. There’s a lot of misunderstood and confusing information out there when it comes to saving money, budgeting and planning for your retirement. What are stocks? Bonds? Annuities? What are the differences between Roth and Traditional investments?
If you’ve been feeling frustrated and maybe even a little angry because you feel like you should’ve already been taught these topics, you’re not alone. I’m here to simplify all those complicated terms and processes so you can finally breathe a sigh of relief and start taking action.
I’m going to show you exactly what will work for YOU.
I’ll take you from confused to empowered in just a few hours
Join in a virtual workshop and get the opportunity to untangle your finances, create a personal plan for retirement and learn how you can take care of your family after you pass away. Together, we’ll dive deep into core terminology and key benefits so you can make a more informed decision about what you need now, and well into the future.
Hi, I’m Debbie Hatch
I’m a qualified federal retirement specialist
I know how hard it is to make changes and sacrifices knowing it may be years before you ever reap any reward. Your retirement might feel like a distant dream, but I also know that time has a way of slipping away from us. It’s critical you start now. You can’t wait to plan for retirement until you are eligible. I’ve spent decades working with retirement and have seen it all. Not only have I helped thousands of employees, just like you, but I’m also living proof that you can have the life you want AND an amazing retirement at the same time.
After years of working as a federal employee myself, I started my own business and have been supporting people from all walks of life, understanding and master retirement planning. I’ve taught my signature program in the classroom, all over the world, for over 16 years. It’s time to bring it to you in the privacy of your own home – or office, coffee shop, or wherever you want to learn. Everyone deserves a shot at creating the future they desire. My life is a testament to this. It wasn’t always easy but I know that when you invest in yourself, anything is possible.
