Dave and his wife Leslee of 30 years have raised 3 kids in Hinckley since 1998. He has been a scoutmaster, a trustee for 8 years and has been coaching youth sports for over 12 years. His passion is to serve others. The mission of his new company is to help you ‘Clear the Confusion’ with:
1. Medicare-Medical bills, having to declare bankruptcy, etc.
2. Equity protection-loss of income, medical bills, insufficient financial plan
3. Foundational Life Skills-mental health & developing better life skills
*Should review all the above with a trusted independent agent.
4. Faith
This covers everyone from youth, middle age & seniors.
George Hoose from Edward Jones also spoke about investing and how it is a relationship business. The Economy is in a good place right now. Investors want to see interest rates cut. They help with investing for retirement by finding out what is your vision, putting together a long-term plan, and customizing it for you. You should meet regularly.
Our speaker for October is Eric Lucius-Manager of the Highland Library, where our next meeting will take place.
