This presentation will address three important questions:

1. What does retirement mean to you? That is, what do you want and expect in retirement? Do you plan to travel? Pursue a hobby? Volunteer your time, or start a new career or business? It’s important to consider your expectations carefully, because your retirement income plan will be designed to support the retirement lifestyle that you envision. 
2. When do you plan to retire — as we’ll discuss, the age at which you plan to retire can have an enormous impact on your overall retirement income situation, including Social Security and Medicare. 
3. How long will your retirement last — in other words, how long a distribution period should you plan for?

Discover and explore a unique feature of the Roland Park community. In designing this community in the late nineteenth century, the Roland Park Company incorporated into its plan a series of footpaths, 18 in all, designed to expedite foot traffic between various sections of the community, especially in those where the terrain made it difficult to build roads. Designed by developer Edward H. Bouton of the Roland Park Company, and the firm of the Olmsted Brothers Landscape Architects, the paths reflect the tradition of Frederick Law Olmsted, Sr. of placing houses in their natural setting with roads, lanes, sidewalks and foot paths to connect them. Each path is named with a distinctly country [nature] ring: Squirrel, Hilltop, Laurel, Tulip; others are decidedly British: Audley End, Tintern, St. Margaret’s, Litchfield. In 1991 the paths were refurbished and most are marked by cedar posts and handmade white oak replicas of the original breadboard signs.

NOTE:  Meet at Roland Park Library on Roland Avenue. Please wear comfortable shoes. Participants will be walking on uneven and hilly terrain, including steps.
