Secrets to a More Fulfilling and Meaningful Retirement
Coach Win – Edwin W. Smith
Transition Coach, Speaker, Baby Boomer,
Elderhood Evangelist, Writer, Technologist & Author
Traditional retirement is quickly becoming an outdated concept. Today’s baby boomer generation is literally
re-writing what retirement is. In his presentation, Coach Win will explain why we should not be referring to our lives after work as retirement. There is a much better and more logical period for that third stage of human development. Come learn about the 6 stages of retirement, the pitfalls of retirement, the reasons retirees became disillusioned, the top 5 regrets of life, the importance of having a purpose, and much, much more.
When Coach Win made his decision to retire, he was surprised to find out that most of the retirement and retirement planning research results all dealt with the financial aspects of retirement. He knew from his first career as a rehabilitation counselor and disability management specialist that left out 75% of the other aspects of retirement, the biological, psychological and sociological aspects. He consequently embarked on a multi-year research effort and created a workshop to help others who are approaching or post-retirement better understand the non-financial and retirement lifestyle issues. Coach Win’s mission is to help you make a successful transition from work to a meaningful and fulfilling retirement.

Financial Planning for Retirement –
How to Not Outlive Your Money
Hugh Ruggieri, President of Ruggieri Financial & Insurance Services
Hugh Ruggieri, President of Ruggieri Financial & Insurance Services, has been working with retirees in the Inland Empire for over 30 years. After several years of working for a major financial institution, it became apparent to Hugh that what clients needed most in retirement planning was often not available through the limited investment products available from one company. This led Hugh to establish his own team of business partners, who share the same core beliefs of honesty, integrity and trustworthiness.
The Ruggieri Financial team believe that their clients deserve access to the best companies and products available. This is rare in the financial world because they offer various types of financial advice customized to your unique situation and stage of life, whether retired or still working. They also offer comprehensive planning for estate, retirement, long term care and Medi-Cal. Hugh Ruggieri is one of the nation’s leading advisory firms.
