Wrapped up Investment Training School this week!

Had the opportunity to learn from some great people, sharpen my investment knowledge, and learn more about the history of Modern Woodmen and the impact it’s been making since 1883.

Excited to take what I learned back home and continue helping families and business owners work toward their goals.

One of the most common things I hear:

“I’ll start investing when I have more money.”

The problem is that most people say the same thing at $40,000, $60,000, and $80,000 a year.

Waiting feels safe.

But time is one thing you never get back.

What’s the biggest thing holding people back from investing?

One of the biggest financial mistakes I see:

People save money.

But they never give it a job.

Money sitting in the wrong place can lose purchasing power over time.

Every dollar should have a purpose:

✔️ Emergency Fund
✔️ Retirement
✔️ College Savings
✔️ Future Goals

What’s the biggest financial goal you’re working toward right now?

Imagine you’re 65 years old.

You wake up tomorrow morning.

What would you rather have?

A) A paid-off house and a retirement check.

B) A mortgage, car payment, and having to work because you need the income.

Most people don’t plan to work forever.

But many are accidentally headed that direction.

Retirement doesn’t happen by accident. It happens by preparation.

Many teachers I meet can tell me exactly how long they’ve worked in education.

But very few can tell me:

✓ What their pension is projected to pay
✓ How much they’ll need in retirement
✓ Whether they’re on track
✓ How much they’re saving outside of TRS

Working hard for 30 years is one thing.

Knowing where you’re headed financially is another.

When was the last time you actually reviewed your retirement plan?

Quick question:

How many old retirement accounts do you have sitting at former jobs?

You’d be surprised how many people have a forgotten 401(k), 403(b), or retirement account from years ago.

Sometimes they’re still invested.
Sometimes they’re not.
Sometimes they’re getting hit with fees.

It may be worth finding out exactly what you have.

Have you ever changed jobs and left a retirement account behind?
