Welcome
Our focus ... to get you to, and through, retirement.
How to structure yourself so you may outlive your money. (Read this sentence carefully).
My definition of retirement? When work is optional.
Your Wealth Odyssey
Choosing a financial professional is one of the most important financial decisions you can make on your journey to wealth. Larry brings you expertise that includes a nationally available book and other published work.
You should ensure the financial professional you work with has the skill, commitment, and knowledge and wisdom to address the full range of your financial needs.
Why my logo has geese ...
Just as geese depend on a trusted leader to balance instinct with the skill to guide them securely home, many successful investors rely on the advice and guidance of an experienced professional to help them work towards their financial destinations.
Geese also know how to increase their efficiency (they can travel 70% further flying in a V) by working together, through communication, coordination and cooperation, towards a common goal. These are fundamental concepts that have become the logo for Larry and Better Financial Education.
See my bio for a cockpit view when I flew high performance jets in formation working together and in close communication with others.
The professional you choose should believe in prudent investment principles, how those concepts fit into your financial plan, education, personal service, and the uniqueness of every client as Larry does.

The Better Financial Education experience ...
If you decide to ask Larry to work for you, he will help you plan & invest for retirement and then help you transition seamlessly into that retirement. Your plan will integrate Social Security, even the more complex scenarios, and pensions if you have them, with your retirement savings so you may feel more secure about your financial future. He will also help you understand what goes into your plan.
Larry will use a methodology designed to increase the likelihood of your enjoyment of a comfortable and secure retirement—and not running out of money. This methodology is not static—it incorporates dynamic processes that reflect changes in the markets and your personal situation.
While retirement is usually the capstone of most financial plans, other financial planning goals can be melded together into your overall plan so they may be coordinated to increase the likelihood of overall success.
Larry will then develop an investment management strategy to manage your resources towards your goals. Everyone is different, so your benchmark to measure progress is not the markets, but progress towards the achievement of your specific plan unique to you.
