Our Meeting with Two Financial Planners

January 31, 2020 By ESI 66 Comments

As noted in My Third Experience at a Direct Mail Retirement Seminar, my wife and I accepted an invitation to meet with Dustin (financial planner) and Gregg (Chief Investment Officer) from Accelerated Wealth.

I know, I know. I'm starting to get hooked on these things! Ha! In case you haven't been following along, I've written about the first and second direct mail retirement seminars my wife and I have attended.

Why I Bought Rockstar Finance After I Retired

January 24, 2020 By ESI 11 Comments

Here's a fun post I think you're going to enjoy. I liked rereading the article since it was like visiting a bit of history. As many of you know, I bought a financial curation website called Rockstar Finance at the end of 2017. I worked on it for a bit over a year, growing and monetizing it, then sold it for over twice what I paid for it in March 2019. Since then, … [Read more...]

My Second Experience at a Direct Mail Retirement Seminar

January 22, 2020 By ESI 25 Comments

When I wrote My Experience at a Direct Mail Retirement Seminar (and the associated post How to Prepare in Advance for a Great Retirement) I noted I had accepted an invitation for another retirement seminar. I attended a second one for a couple reasons. First, I was surprised by how good the first one was. Perhaps I had mistakenly stereotyped these as spammy, hard-sales … [Read more...]

The Top 10 Factors to Consider Before Retiring

January 17, 2020 By ESI 19 Comments

I've recently been to two retirement planning seminars (one I've already posted about in My Experience at a Direct Mail Retirement Seminar and the second coming soon). After thinking about what the events offered and how financial advisors use these seminars to solicit new customers, I think I have a great idea for planners looking to court the soon-to-retire crowd.

How to Prepare in Advance for a Great Retirement

January 15, 2020 By ESI 19 Comments

When I wrote My Experience at a Direct Mail Retirement Seminar I promised that I would do a separate post on the main presentation they gave us at the seminar. This is that post.

Basically it's a summary of what you need to … [Read more...]
