Retirement planning offered by MPCC Ogallala Campus

“Retirement Planning Today” will be the subject of a new class offered by the Mid-Plains Community College Ogallala Campus.

Taught by Marc Werkmeister, certified financial planner, the class will explain how the rules for a retiring generation of baby boomers have changed.

Old methods from yesteryear will be compared with the new realities of today. Participants will learn how to insulate themselves from the risk of rising taxes, maximize their Social Security and avoid common pitfalls while distributing assets in retirement.

The class is scheduled for 6-9 p.m. Feb. 17 at the MPCC Ogallala Campus, 512 E. B St. S. in Ogallala.

Registration can be done online at bceregister.mpcc.edu, by calling the Ogallala campus at (308) 284-9830 or by emailing piercem@mpcc.edu. The cost is $49.
