Due to greater uncertainties, financial planning after retirement becomes more challenging.  We all want to make good decisions.  Where most investors get into trouble is not in their intent, it’s in their emotions and habits.  The SIG's focus is educating members how-to make informed financial decisions which are in their best interests.
