Taking over Jeff Krough’s clients this year was scary, but it turned out amazing. I look forward to continuing to serve all of my clients for decades to come. Thank you for making this career possible and giving me a purpose in life because I know what it’s like to feel like you have no purpose left. 👩‍💼🏦

Fall is the perfect time for a financial reset. Review your benefits, taxes, and retirement contributions before year-end deadlines. Reach out to me, and we can build a personalized plan together.

Use the seasonal shift to revisit budgets, benefits, and tax moves before year-end deadlines.

🚜🤎 A little harvest season update!

During harvest, my office hours look a little different. Some days I’m in the office, some days I’m in the tractor, and some days it’s a little of both.

I’ll be in the office by appointment every week, but when I’m in the field, my tractor becomes my second office! I’m still here for my clients, answering calls and making sure everyone is taken care of.

If you need to meet, just reach out and we’ll get something scheduled. Thanks for your flexibility during harvest season, and continuing to reach out about financial planning! 🌽

Financial planning has evolved, too!

Maybe your parents saved money in a savings account, retired with a pension, or relied on a simple rule of thumb to decide if they could afford retirement. Those strategies may have worked for them, but today’s world looks a little different.

With Northwestern Mutual’s advanced financial planning software, we can run retirement income projections, compare different claiming ages for Social Security, see how inflation could affect your savings, and explore how different decisions today could impact your future. Northwestern Mutual’s financial planning tools help us look at the bigger picture and see how today’s decisions could impact tomorrow.

Just because you’ve always done things one way doesn’t mean you can’t think bigger. Whether you’re building wealth, preparing to retire, or already enjoying retirement, it may be time to take a fresh look at your financial plan.

Just like farming has moved forward, we’re bringing a modern approach to planning for your financial future. 🌱

Life insurance isn’t just for parents, homeowners, or people with dependents. It can be part of anyone’s financial plan (even your kid’s).

Depending on the coverage, it may offer benefits you can use while you’re living, too.

Having life insurance through work is a great place to start, but it may be worth taking a look at what you have and whether additional coverage outside of work could make sense for you.

I’m always happy to look over what you already have, answer your questions, and help you explore your options.

Took a tractor and combine into “Touch a Truck Night” in Tama. The kids loved climbing in the farm equipment! 🚜
