MSB to Offer Free Workshop: ‘Planning for Health Care in Retirement’

MONSON — Monson Savings Bank will hold a complimentary workshop titled “Planning for Health Care in Retirement,” featuring Kevin Flynn, regional vice president for Nationwide.

The event is designed to help people plan for retirement and learn how healthcare costs can impact their retirement income. This can be an unknown area of retirement planning, and the workshop will help make it simpler to understand the ins and outs of healthcare costs, Medicare coverage, and available options to help people plan for these expenses when they retire. It will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 13, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Hampden Senior Center, 104 Allen St., Hampden. Refreshments will be served.

“Too often, people don’t fully account for healthcare costs or understand what Medicare pays for when they decide to retire, and, unfortunately, they’re unpleasantly surprised at the adjustments they need to make to their budget and retirement plans when reality hits,” said Steve Lowell, president and CEO of Monson Savings Bank. “This workshop is designed to help people avoid that difficult scenario.”

The event is free and open to the public, but seating is limited, and reservations are required. To RSVP, contact Anna Calvanese at (413) 267-1221 or acalvanese@monsonsavings.com.
