Retirement Regret Hurts More Than a Black Eye

If I can survive a black eye from a teenage tubing match, you can survive getting a retirement plan in place. One is a bruise... the other is a lifelong regret. DM me if you’re tired of winging it.

 If I can survive getting launched off a tube by my teenage son this weekend—black eye and all—you can survive going through a financial planning process. And yes, before you ask, he’s absolutely bragging about it like he won an Olympic event. Meanwhile, I’m walking around Edmond looking like I lost a bar fight.

But you know what’s actually more painful than a black eye? Getting to retirement age and realizing you never had a real plan. I know this stuff can feel overwhelming. Spreadsheets, projections, investment jargon—it’s easy to push it off. But if you don’t have a clear retirement plan or an investment strategy, you’re just guessing - or avoiding. And your future deserves more than guesswork.

I work with smart, successful people every day who feel unsure about their next steps. Not because they’ve done anything wrong—but because no one helped them connect the dots.

Having a plan doesn’t mean locking yourself into something rigid. It means creating a roadmap that fits your life, your goals, your timeline. It’s clarity. It’s confidence. It’s peace of mind.

So if you’ve been winging it—this is your sign. Let’s make sure all your hard work is actually leading somewhere. DM me if you’re ready to feel like you’ve got this—no black eye required.
