Welcome!

Hello and welcome to the Educator's Retirement Blog.

My wife, an educator, and her current and former colleagues frequently ask me for advice about the stock market, investments, their retirement, pension, and pretty much just about everything else related to financial matters. In response to their repeated questions and to try to help them and other educators, I started this blog.

It is my hope that this blog will help many, many educators outside of just the ones at my wife's school and her former colleagues. If you have a specific question, just e-mail me and ask away. If it is one that can help others, I will almost assuredly write a quick post about it. In any event, I promise to try and answer as many questions as possible.

To give you a bit of background on me, I am a partner and financial advisor in a financial advisory firm, Rollins Financial Counseling, Inc., located in Atlanta, Georgia. I have been an advisor for over 10 years. During those years, I have helped several family members, friends, and clients navigate their way through the various challenges associated with preparing to retire as an educator. From pension options to buying years of service to retirement accounts, I have dealt with all of them.
