📻 BIG NEWS FOR TOMORROW MORNING! 🎙️

We’re excited to introduce a new voice to the Carter-Stearns Financial Group radio show!

Tomorrow morning on KCRS Radio News Talk 550 with Spencer Bennett & Marc Christian, I’ll be joined by my husband, Andrew Stearns, as he officially steps into the radio show alongside me.

For those who have listened over the years, you know my dad, Dee K. Carter , has been such an important part of this journey. ❤️ He’s stepping away from the microphone and handing the reins over to Andrew, and we couldn’t be more excited about this next chapter!

I’m looking forward to having Andrew bring his perspective and experience to the conversation as we continue talking about retirement, investments, financial confidence, and the things that matter most to families here in West Texas.

Same show. New chapter. New voice. Same heart for helping people make informed financial decisions.

🎧 Tune in tomorrow morning on KCRS 550 AM with Spencer and Marc and help us welcome Andrew!

And Dad—Dee—thank you for everything you’ve brought to this show. We’re excited to carry it forward! ❤️

Filing for Social Security is rarely a solo decision. Many couples assume they should both file as soon as they retire. But misunderstanding spousal benefits can leave significant money on the table over the course of a lifetime. Coordinating when you and your spouse file is one of the most critical pieces of a retirement income plan. Questions like these deserve proactive planning.

🎉A big day for the Carter-Stearns Financial family.🎉

Andrew Stearns – husband of our President, Mandee Carter-Stearns – passed his Series 65 exam today, an important milestone on the path to becoming an Investment Adviser Representative.

For those outside the financial world: the Series 65 is the rigorous exam the SEC and state regulators require of anyone who wants to provide investment advice under a fiduciary standard – the legal duty to put clients' interests first.

Dee Carter built this practice on the value of serving West Texas families well. His daughter Mandee carried it forward. And today, Andrew took his own first major step in that same world.

Andrew, we could not be prouder of you. Congratulations.
