DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nWould You Like to Retire Tax Free?\n[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”16341″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” label=””][vc_column_text] \nCarmen Hornberger\nOwner\nBenefits to Go\, LLC\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \nCarmen will discuss the hidden facts that all women need to know regarding their retirement\, including fees\, deferred taxes\, and approximately when your money will run out! \nKey Take-A-Ways: \n\nThe difference between taxable and non-taxable income\nThe three kinds of permanent life insurance\nRule 72\n\nMore about Carmen: \nCarmen took an early buyout in 2016 from a fortune 100 financial services firm located in STL. When she left she held several positions in IT\, banking\, and hedge fund analysis. Carmen started Benefits To Go LLC because self-employed women had no voice. They are responsible for solely paying 100% of their own benefits and saving for their retirement plans without the help of a corporation. Carmen has always felt the need to cater to business owners because she witnessed her mother and other single mothers being afraid to take vacations or even get sick because they knew their families would not be provided for. Today\, Carmen’s goal is to create 1000 tax free retirement plans for women each year so they won’t have to be burdened with the fear of disability\, getting sick\, paying for college\, or not taking a vacation.  Carmen offers women fair competitive pricing on all the benefits they need to run their businesses successfully.  In addition\, she wants every client to enjoy 15-35 years of tax free income ! \nPlease register HERE to receive the Zoom link \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
