Across the country, seniors are invited to free retirement seminars that promise financial wisdom, free meals, and peace of mind. On the surface, it sounds like a win-win: gain expert advice without spending a dime. But what many don’t realize is that these events are often marketing tools designed to sell high-fee products. Instead of saving money, attendees may leave with investments that drain their retirement savings. Understanding the risks behind these “free” events is critical for protecting your future.
