Some people have real world experience. Other people devote years and years to study. Whatever the route taken everyone is an expert on something.
My experience and my study have been devoted to providing investment advice to individual Minnesota company 401(k) retirement plan participants. I have built up an area of expertise in an area where most individual investors don’t have the time or interest to learn.
Understanding a company 401(k) retirement plan account is like working on a giant puzzle. All of the pieces are there. You just have to figure out how the pieces can be put together in order to protect and grow your retirement nest egg.
If I had to sit in a laboratory at 3M, or at a retail strategy meeting at Target, I would be lost immediately. I have no experience. I have no knowledge. I can’t play a game that I know that I am going to lose.
I can’t fix plumbing, electrical, and home repair problems at my home. That is why I call an expert when I need one. I am not competent in any area of home repairs.
Today the world is full of experts. The key is to find an expert in an area of your personal and investment life where you need help.
You can improve your odds of long-term company 401(k) retirement plan success. Find an independent investment advisor who has experience providing investment advice to individual company 401(k) retirement plan participants.
Some people don’t have the psychological make up to say, “I don’t know how to do this.” Don’t be one of those company 401(k) retirement plan participants who go through their working career with the same attitude.
You company 401(k) retirement plan savings are too important to your retirement future. Ask an expert for help.
