Joseph Bert, CFP^®, AIF^®

As a fellow Boomer, I understand there are many responsibilities and challenges you face on a daily basis; supporting your children, paying for college and weddings, worrying about aging parents and balancing careers. All while trying to add to your nest egg and planning for your own retirement. I know that doing all of this can become daunting and even a bit overwhelming. I’ve helped hundreds of people like you over the years, and I’m sure I can help you as well!
