Take Your First Step in Retirement Planning
WHY IS FINANCIAL PLANNING SO IMPORTANT? We all have things we want to do in the future that will cost money; vacations, home buying, paying for college, retiring, and etc. Financial planning is simply figuring how much money you will need when you will need it, and taking action to get you there.

John Templeton once explained to a reporter his secret for becoming wealthy; for the first 20 years out of college, he saved half of everything he earned. Period. Now John Templeton is a LEGENDARY investor and earned good returns for his clients by investing. But his SECRET to wealth was [...]
