• Can I afford to retire?
• What is the best age for me to start collecting social security?
• How do I position my assets to last as long as I do?
• How can I participate in market growth but protect myself from market risk?
• What do I do in case I need long term care?
• Is my estate set up so that my heirs receive my assets in the most tax efficient manner?

Gail’s 30 years’ experience includes presenting numerous financial seminars and workshops on retirement planning to many groups and organizations including NY Women in Film & TV, NY Women in Communication, the NY Public Library Financial Literacy Center, Financial Planning Association of NY, Professional Women at MetLife, the Real Estate Board of NY and the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce.
