Are You A Retirement Rockstar?

Do you meet the rockstar criteria? Listen and find out!

Every week on Straight Talk on Retirement we discuss individuals that meet rockstar status. As Jeff likes to say, "our clients bring us a diamond and our job is to polish it."  We had nothing to do with the success our clients have had in the past, but our goal is to help them preserve, protect and prudently grow their assets, help them do the things they want to do in retirement, and support them every step of the way – we are their biggest cheerleaders.  That being said, we want to make the process fun, because it is.  It is exciting to know that what you have worked your entire life to accomplish can potentially become a reality.  Our clients trust us with their lives' work and we take that responsibility very seriously – but we also are invited along on the ride, and it should be a fun one – because they have earned it!
