Before you develop a retirement strategy, you should have a clear understanding of your goals and objectives.

Or would you like to leave enough for a legacy when you retire?

Understanding your retirement goals will help you as you start crafting your long term investing strategy. We hope you found this video useful to you as you’re planning for retirement.
