Lastly, we will review the different types of annuities and how to discern if including an annuity is an appropriate piece to consider for your retirement plan.
Objectives, by the end of the presentation, you will be able to:

- Determine your current tax bracket and from those six Qualified Retirement Accounts available, you be able to select and implement the one(s) that is most tax advantageous for your current financial situation;

Margie Wakeman Wells, CRI
Let’s look at the -- could there be more dashes in this transcript? But there are reasons other than just the interruption for us to use the dash.

So let’s review the rules for the dash and the colon.
