My Mom Is Why I Do This

My mom taught for more than 20 years in Illinois and Texas. When she left teaching, she didn't fully understand her retirement options or know the right questions to ask.

She cashed out her pension.

My parents went through the money in about 18 months. Mom eventually ran an in-home daycare until she was 65, not because she wanted to, but because she had to.

She has always wished she had asked a few more questions before making that decision.

I saw what that mistake cost her. So in 2001, after five years as a teacher myself, I left the classroom and started helping educators understand their TRS pension before they have to make those decisions.

I made Mom two promises: help educators understand their pension before making these decisions, and never charge them a fee to meet with me.  

That's why I've been doing this for 25 years.

Thanks for everything, Mom. I love you.
