Mark S. Fischer

Mark S. Fischer, CFP, MBA, has had a long career as a financial planner in Minneapolis and is a specialist in retirement planning. He has helped hundreds of people manage the transition to retirement, both in his work with individual clients and through his workshops at the University of Minnesota. His book, SERIOUS ABOUT RETIRING, offers a comprehensive guide on retirement, with insights and information on health, housing, volunteering, work, family, friendship, travel, lifestyle, investments, budgeting, tax issues, and even estate planning.

In his own semi-retirement, Mark has not only written this book, he also began learning to play the cello. His new book is his way of giving back to the community, to help others have a smooth transition to retirement and many fulfilling years.
