    Episode 4: Trust, Discipline, and Retirement Success: A 35-Year Client Story

    On this episode of the Get In The Game Podcast, we feature a conversation with a longtime client who has worked with Larry for more than 35 years. Throughout her career, she moved across the country—living in Texas, Massachusetts, Louisiana, California, and now Florida—while Larry maintained his licensing in each state so he could continue advising her and personally visiting when possible. The discussion highlights the importance of trust and long-term relationships with a financial advisor, as well as the power of starting early and staying disciplined. By consistently contributing to her 401(k) and 403(b) plans, living conservatively, and following a long-term strategy, she is now debt-free and retired comfortably as of January 2026 with no financial stress. Her story reinforces that financial success does not happen overnight—it comes from decades of saving, staying in the game, and working with an advisor who communicates clearly and puts the client’s best interests first. *Client testimonial provided voluntarily by the client, no compensation was provided.
