“A New Chapter, A New Home 🏡” After 10 years away from our home state, building careers, and starting a family, we’re excited to finally plant roots closer to our extended family. This is our second home purchase in three years, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the journey that brought us here. A lot has changed for us recently—new state, new career, and new opportunities. But one thing that stayed consistent was the importance of having a solid financial foundation. Thanks to our emergency savings and long-term retirement funds, we felt secure even while making such big life transitions. It’s easy to get caught up in the “what-ifs,” but having a strong foundation gave us the confidence to take these steps. If you’re thinking about your own goals—whether it’s buying your first home, changing careers, or another dream—what does your financial foundation look like? The journey isn’t always smooth, but with the right financial groundwork, you can make it happen. Curious about what it takes to get there? Maybe it’s time to start thinking about a roadmap that helps you turn dreams into reality. 💭

How much do you need to retire? I mean really? Do you even want to retire? If so, when and how will you spend your time - daytime, evenings and weekends? Personally, when I “retire”, it’ll be to do more relationship coaching. It’s a topic very close to my heart. I love love and I’ve learned and continue to learn so much about it that I just want to continue to keep sharing in the hope that it continues to bring about meaningful transformation. What’s your dream when you “retire”? #RetirementGoals #FinancialFreedom #PropertyInvesting

🌟 Celebrating Anil's Remarkable Journey! 🌟 #Gratitude #Retirement #longPostAlert It's with mixed emotions that we bid farewell to Anil, who's been an invaluable part of our team for the past 8 and a half years. Throughout our journey, Anil exemplified the core values of #SpinnakerSupport, particularly integrity and commitment. His unwavering dedication to our values kept us grounded, even during times of change. In our one-on-one discussions, Anil fearlessly challenged ideas he didn't agree with, always with the best interests of the team at heart. Anil's impact extended far beyond what was visible on the surface. Like an iceberg, only a fraction of his contributions were apparent. Yet, his influence permeated every aspect of our work, driving us toward excellence with integrity and humility. Leadership isn't just about metrics; it's about recognizing and nurturing the individuals who shape our success, and doing that without bias, with complete Integrity of conduct! He never sought recognition or accolades, preferring instead to quietly contribute to the team's growth and stability. Ensuring he gets his due was my task, and hope I've not let him down!! As we bid farewell to Anil Dattani , let's remember the profound impact he's had on our team and organization! I know I speak for us all : the team, me and Anthony Cefola , when I say this : Thank you, for all your contributions! Wishing Anil all the best in his future endeavors! 🚀 #TeamAppreciation #LeadershipLegacy ( The London transport cut short our attendance, drastically.. but we all wish you the best!)

How you can create a Hall of Fame Retirement 🏆 As a kid I used to trade football cards with a passion. I always remember every year after the draft wanting to get the shiny new rookie cards just like every other kid. However, as I got older, I realized the real value was in the veteran players who made pro-bowls year after year. At the end of the day, it made sense  The hall of fame doesn’t care about one great season, it is about performance over your lifetime. 💎 The same thing is true when it comes to your retirement strategy! Hall of Fame retirements are built over success over the long game. I now hear the Babe Ruth quote, “Study the game, accept advice, keep fit, and above all, save your money”, and realize how true it is for a sports-loving kid who grew up into an investment-focused adult. He is completely right. We need to study the past for potential risks, seek advice from those with insights, and have the long game in mind! And most of all – Save money! If you want to build a Hall of Fame Retirement 🏆, reach out and let’s get started. _____________________________________________ I’m Nick – Helping others pursue success with less burden of financial stress – making more time for what matters most.
