“The greatest satisfaction I find in my work comes from those moments when a client calls me, seeking reassurance about their financial future. It’s such a privilege to be in a position where I can honestly provide them with the support they need. Often, I’ll get a call from someone saying, ‘I’m really tired of my job and want to retire early, but my biggest fear is running out of money in my 80s. What do you think?’ In those moments, I can draw upon my tools and knowledge to confidently assure them, ‘You can do that, and you don’t need to worry.’ Being a trusted advisor is a responsibility I take very seriously — and it’s an honor to help my clients achieve peace of mind about their financial decisions.” If you’re asking similar questions about your own retirement, you don’t have to navigate them alone. Let’s talk about what’s possible for you. 📅 Schedule a conversation: https://connect.thrivent.com/julia-weston #TheHeartBehindWhatIDo #JuliaWestonCFP #RetirementPlanning #PeaceOfMind #FinancialConfidence #ThriventAdvisor #FarmingtonCT #FaithAndFinance #TrustedAdvisor #PreRetirement #RetireWithConfidence See thrivent.com/social for disclosures
