Investments*
Do you have a plan to pay for your children’s college education? Are you currently working and saving enough for retirement? Are you approaching retirement and worried about outliving your assets? Your goals may change over time and each stage of life requires a different investment plan. As an independent financial advisor, Scott can help you navigate through the sea of available investments to develop customized and well-diversified wealth management solutions that are right for you.
Retirement
The goal for most people is retirement. Properly managing taxes, insurance, and investments can lead to a more comfortable retirement.
