Johnson Brunetti, a local retirement and investment specialist firm, is hosting a free community movie event on Wednesday, August 19, 2026, at 6:00 PM at AMC Braintree 10, 121 Grandview Rd, Braintree, MA 02184. The evening will feature a special showing of The Psychology of Retirement, an educational film exploring the financial, emotional and social aspects of retirement. This includes coverage of Social Security and Medicare.

The movie, with Joel Johnson, co-founder of Johnson Brunetti, serving as one of its executive producers, includes commentary from leading financial thinkers, including Morgan Housel, author of the bestselling book The Psychology of Money, as well as prominent economists and public officials, such as David Walker, former Comptroller General and public trustee for Social Security and Medicare, David Duley, Jason Fichtner, Becky Swansberg, Rodney Brooks, Justin Fitzpatrick, Johnny Poulsen and Brian Wesbury.

“With inflation and market uncertainty top of mind, retirees need more than a number in their portfolio,” said David Shapiro, regional director of wealth at Johnson Brunetti. “This film shows how solid planning can weather economic headwinds and keep your retirement secure, regardless of what happens in the markets.”

Again, the free community screening of The Psychology of Retirement will take place on Wednesday, August 19, 2026, at 6:00 PM at AMC Braintree 10 in Braintree, Massachusetts. It’s open to individuals nearing retirement or recently retired. This screening offers a unique opportunity to explore the emotional and financial dimensions of retirement in a comfortable and engaging setting.

Johnson Brunetti’s licensed fiduciary advisors will introduce the film and explain the role financial planning plays in creating a secure investment portfolio, ensuring the golden years can be enjoyable. Interested attendees will be offered the opportunity to schedule a complimentary one-on-one appointment at one of their local offices throughout the state.

Johnson Brunetti, an independent retirement and investment specialist firm founded in 2003, will host a women-only dinner workshop on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, at 6:00 PM at 3 Restaurant, 461 West Central Street, Franklin, MA. The complimentary event is designed for women ages 55 and older who are within five years of retirement or already retired. Advance registration is required.

The interactive workshop, entitled Taking Control: Empowering Women to Understand Their Financial Future, will be presented by Jen Killilea, a financial advisor at Johnson Brunetti. The one-hour, pre-dinner session will be held in a supportive environment for women to openly ask questions and gain insight into retirement planning. Attendees will learn strategies for creating a secure financial future.

“Women today are making important financial decisions for themselves and their families, whether they are single, divorced, widowed, or married,” said Killilea. “This workshop is about more than just information—it’s about building confidence, exploring strategies, and connecting with others who share the same goal of a secure retirement.”

Topics will include: How to construct a sound retirement plan; Strategies for maximizing Social Security benefits; Protecting savings from market risk; Budgeting and income planning for longevity; Special considerations for women planning retirement.

According to recent studies, women typically retire with 34 percent less money than men and live longer, making financial preparedness especially critical. Johnson Brunetti’s women-focused events aim to close this gap by providing education, clarity, and personalized guidance.

“Women often face unique financial challenges—from longevity to caregiving responsibilities—but with the right plan, those challenges can be transformed into opportunities,” Killilea added.

To attend Taking Control: Empowering Women to Understand Their Financial Future, interested parties can register at https://edge.financialseminarservices.com/Rsvp/Seminar/4JFZ or call 888-406-8122.
