Once again, thank you for the excellent seminar.  I picked up quite a few helpful pointers that will help me to better plan my retirement.  During Tuesday’s class, I inquired about why closing out unused credit cards impact your credit score.

I attended your webinar this week and you presented a lot of good information – thank you!  I would like to receive a copy of the spreadsheet that lets you enter different scenarios or assumptions which then projects how many $$ you will need in retirement.

Thank you.

Hello Mr. Bill Keating,

 

I was one of your students in the Mid-Career Retirement Training Class were you taught the Financial Planning portion.  First I would like to say that I have learned so much in the morning session and I’m looking forward to the afternoon session.   During the morning the session you showed us a program that can calculate the cost of college tuition over extended period of time.  You mentioned that you can send us a copy of the program if we provide information on how our PC/laptops are configured.  I’m currently using a windows base laptop running Microsoft Windows XP.  It has 1.99 GB or RAM and sufficient hard drive space.  In your spare time can you send me a copy of the program?  I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Thank you for your time.

 

Professor Bill:

I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your segment of the FERS retirement course last Tuesday.  You mentioned that you would email a copy of the Can I Retire model to those of us who were interested.  I’m definitely interested, so could you email a copy to me at the above email address?  Thank you so much.

Regards -- Madeline
