Retirees across Iowa are asking the same question: "Have I done enough?" Even after decades of saving and planning, many retirees feel a lingering doubt that something could slip through the cracks. That's why Retirement Red Flags is hosting the "2025 Annual Retiree Update" workshop this November in West Des Moines. The event is designed specifically for retirees who feel mostly prepared, but want to identify overlooked risks and last-minute adjustments before the 2026 changes take effect.
"This isn't about scaring people," said Nate Crannell, co-founder of Retirement Red Flags. "It's about giving people the peace of mind that comes from knowing they've looked under every stone. Most retirees are 95% ready. We help them find the last 5% that can make all the difference."
What Retirees Will Learn: How 2026 tax changes may impact retirement income, Social Security, and estate plans; common mistakes retirees make when drawing income from retirement accounts; simple strategies that can protect a spouse or heirs from unnecessary taxes and risk; and real-world stories of retirement planning oversights and how to avoid them.
Event Details: The workshop will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 18th from 9am-12pm and Wednesday, Nov. 19th from 1pm-4pm at The Venue in Valley Junction, West Des Moines. The cost is $50 per person, which includes a workbook and refreshments. Each session is limited to 50 seats to ensure an intimate, conversational setting. All proceeds will be donated to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
Seats are limited, and many local retirees are already securing their spot. Don't miss this chance to get clarity before the 2026 changes arrive. Register today at RetirementRedFlags.com/events/desmoines.
