Got home last night and went through the mail.
Lo and behold, an invitation for a 'retirement planning' seminar at Ruth's Chris later this month.
Darn, why don't we get these Ruth's Chris seminar offers?
The best we get is a Western Sizzler buffet.
Worse yet, now we are getting invites to ones that don't even have a meal. Just coffee and (probably) cookies.
I went to one of Fidelity's retirement planning dinners a few years ago at a place I had been wanting to try anyway. Now, all I get are offers to join webinars, not even a Sizzler buffet!
Ruth's Chris is way over priced. Last time we went, they charged $10 for mushed potato and over $50 for a steak.
We sometimes receive offers to attend retirement seminars at Wild Fire and have never attended any of them.

I got an e-mail the other day for a seminar on 'Menopause: Myths, Realities and Practicalities' at guess where? We had a couple department meetings there but never been to a financial talk there.
When we want meat we eat at home. We usually go out when we want something different and not usually made at home. When they start to offer these [-]annuity sales gatherings[/-] retirement seminars at Indian restaurants, I'll consider going.
Besides, Ruth Chris and Mortons have some seriously stuffy and stuck up staff, and that turns me off entirely.
I never realized menopause was a financial topic!
And at those prices you can eat several luxurious steak dinners at home. 1800 degree grill and 500 degree serving plates really aren't necessary.
We have a gift card to Ruth's Chris that a family member gave us at Christmas, 2015, and we never used it because we wouldn't feel comfortable there dressed in our comfy/sloppy retiree clothes.
Don't worry about your attire. We went there with informal clothing. Most of their dishes are "a la carte" - sides are extra (e.g., mushed potatoes are $10).We have a gift card to Ruth's Chris that a family member gave us at Christmas, 2015, and we never used it because we wouldn't feel comfortable there dressed in our comfy/sloppy retiree clothes.
We never go to these seminars. They are expecting to make enough money from SOMEBODY to cover all the costs of those dinners, and I refuse to take the risk (however low) that it might end up being me.
That sounds like you think the pitch maybe contagious. You could catch something just from being in the room. DW feels that way which is why we don't go plus I would look odd going alone if they would even let me go without her.
