Retirement Plans Left High & Dry | A couple redefines what it means to be wealthy
Linda and Jim were living large with millions in real estate equity, thinking it’d be smooth sailing towards retirement …until the recession took the wind out of their sails.

Zach Ciampa, a Financial Planner at John Hancock, weighs in on the changing retirement landscape, gives advice for people starting fresh financially, and outlines the benefits of getting professional financial help.
