Genuine and real- plus great advice

Retirement feels overwhelming to me these days so I love the way Abe, Heather and Pat break things down in ways that are easy to understand. It’s not that I’m stupid when it comes to retirement but a lot has changed and this podcast keeps me informed of my options.

This is nothing but a sales pitch

I find this firm to be a doom and gloom company that thinks people in or approaching retirement are idiots. Granted, there are some who are clueless, but the bulk are very well educated and very aware of people trying to get rich off baby boomers who think a “financial advisor” will help them. The reality is that after charging you a large fee for managing things that don’t need managing, you assume they are looking out for your best interest. Instead, they are interested in THEIR best interest.
