In the market meltdowns of 2000 and 2009, a lot of plans that people had made were impacted in a very negative way. During this time, I observed two major problems with traditional financial planning – the effects volatile markets can have on retirement savings, and the taxes that can turn out to be much higher than what people had planned for.

During this time, I observed two major problems with traditional financial planning – the effects volatile markets can have on retirement savings, and the taxes that can turn out to be much higher than what people had planned for. I began searching for answers regarding what people could do differently. After much research into what wealthy people and banks do to avoid such pitfalls, I learned about a strategy of using specially designed life insurance to avoid volatility and excessive taxes. Overall, I realized that retirement planning is like mountain climbing – you not only need to get up the mountain but back down it as well. By using this method, which utilizes the most tax-favored financial vehicle in the IRS code (life insurance), my clients are now using a strategy favored by banks and the wealthy. I have taught financial planning seminars at local colleges, as well as for several businesses, churches, and community organizations. As president and founder of Kendall Financial LLC, I have more than 50 years of experience in financial services. I am a Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU) and a Certified Financial Planner (CFP™), and a lifetime member of the Million Dollar Round Table.
