My advice is highly valuable and will save you a lot of time and money. If you are not teachable or coachable do not contact me.

If you already have a financial advisor – congratulations! Not many people are smart enough to know what they don’t know. However, you must ask yourself the following:

1) Was he/she an educator like you and as a result, specialize in you?

2) Does he/she also prepare your taxes if needed?

3) Does he/she understand the tax ramifications of taking distributions from your investments?

4) Will he/she help you choose the best pension distribution option for you and your family?

5) Does he/she always get back to you within 24 hours?

6) Are his/her fees low and transparent, do you even know what he/she charges?

If you answer no to any of the above, you may want to contact me. Trust me, I’m not a pushy salesperson. I’m a teacher first and foremost.
