The Grande Trip (Retirement)
Short Description
It has been said that most Canadians will spend more time planning their holidays than their retirement. The result can be some pretty nice holidays along the way but a disastrous retirement. There are no do-overs when it comes to retirement; you need to get it right the first time or face the consequences.​
​
This Christian-based educational and entertaining presentation is designed to introduce people to the topic of how to prepare for retirement using the analogy of a Grande Trip. We will cover what the Bible has to say about retirement and investing. We will look at planning for this trip, how to save for the trip, understanding investing, the risks you might be facing, how to enjoy your trip and then how best to end the trip.
