Something I should have done in my 20's....

If I could go back in time, I'd absolutely save more. I always kicked the can down the road. "Next year", I'd tell myself.

It doesn't have to be big. $25 a paycheck $100 a month, just do it.

Highly recommend use a different bank than your primary financial institution, so it's not top of mind.

What other advice would you give your younger self?

Employee Education opportunity!

Do you want to host an informal (or formal) employee education event?

I think everyone could use some open Q&A with a financial professional. Call me bias, but you don't know what you don't know.

If you treat distribution phase (retirement spending) of your life the same as accumulation phase (before retirement) ....

you're likely to fail.

Leaving all your assets in your 401k leaves yourself open to unnecessary risk and doesn't set you up for 'life events' as they occur.

I'd love to talk to you more about this. 319-315-2124

I deal with real people, going through real things. I'm one of the first calls when my clients lose their job, get diagnosed with a disease, or people die in their life...

If you don't want to call an 800 # and get a random person when you're going through life's ups and downs. Consider a local financial advisor such as myself.

319-315-2124 Call or text me to see if we're a good fit.

Fun fact I learned from networking last week:
You can train your bladder.

If you're getting up frequently in middle of night and you're not of that age yet...look it up. You're welcome.
