The local Thrivent Financial office will host a workshop next week examining how taxes will affect one’s retirement.

It will be held at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 21, in the Community Center.

Daniel Schmaltz, a certified financial planner, will discuss strategies to help residents work toward a lower tax bracket in retirement.

“It’s critical to have a solid understanding of the tax status of your investments so you can make informed decisions and avoid paying more than your fair share,” said Mike Scharnow, a local Thrivent representative.

There will be time for questions and answers. Snacks and refreshments will be served.

Jerrod Stearnes and Scharnow share a local Thrivent Financial office in the Palisades Business Center.

Those interested in attending are asked to RSVP to Scharnow at 480-498-6184.
