Before you come
How to get the most out of the evening
Nothing is required. Come, enjoy dinner, and listen. But if you’d like to get the most from the night, here’s how to prepare:
Jot down what you’re invested in.
Just the names — your funds, your 401(k), your IRA.
Think about where you’d draw the line.
If you could screen certain kinds of companies out of your portfolio, which ones would they be?
Take honest stock of your plan.
We’ll walk through five pillars: income, investments, taxes, healthcare, and legacy.
Bring your spouse.
These are decisions couples make together, and the drive home is often the best part of the night.
That’s it. No paperwork, no cost — just come with your own situation in mind.
Common questions
Is it really free?
Yes. Dinner, the seminar, the worksheet, and the book are all complimentary.
Will I be pressured to buy something?
No. This is an educational evening. If you’d like a one-on-one conversation afterward, you can ask — it’s entirely up to you.A simple look at how investments can be reviewed against your values.
Can I bring my spouse or a friend?
Please do. Just let us know how many are coming so we save enough seats and meals.
