Drawing on the specialized knowledge gained from obtaining the Chartered Retirement Planning CounselorTM designation, one of Tana and Susan’s primary focuses is helping their clients plan for retirement. They assist clients in understanding where they are today, what will be required for retirement, and what they’ll need to do between now and then. They not only look at clients’ savings and investments, but also Social Security, long-term care expenses, cost of living, and Medicare.
