“If you want to be strong, learn to fight alone. If you want to be successful, learn to fight with a team.”
We’re not a company. We’re a movement. And we have a mission to improve retirement literacy and outcomes for people everywhere.

We’re a team of “RetireMentors” assembled to help hard working Americans like you retire right and retire better. Forget everything you thought about old school financial advice. We’re NOT that. We are RetireMentors, not financial advisors. But through our process we can match you with the right licensed advisor for your needs. We’re unconventional, effective and unbiased. We’re good listeners. Motivators. Organizers. We’re teachers. Coaches. Sherpas. We’re RetireMentors are we’re ready to help you know more & have more…now and in retirement!
Our technology-powered, human enabled Retirement Power Hours approach helps you know more and have more…now and in retirement. The approach connects you with people, process, information and advice to take your retirement worries off the table for good while answering your most pressing questions: “When can I retire?” and “Will my money last a lifetime?” Are you ready to join us?
And if all this wasn’t enough to make us stand out in a crowded and noisy industry, we’ve chosen man’s best friend as our company mascot. We love dogs, but we hope to personify the qualities of a dog in everything we do for you. Dogs are: loyal, trustworthy, genuine, helpful, friendly, intelligent, persistent, dependable and just plain awesome!

When it comes to retirement planning, we believe the most important and best investment you’ll ever make is hiring a retirement specialist and educating yourself on the issues. It’s simply too important and too complex to be left to chance, to previous ways of thinking, or put off to another day. We’ll also make sure you stay on track and take all those important action items when you’re suppose to (like claiming your Social Security, converting to a Roth, purchasing a Long Term Care policy, etc.). Like everything in life, a goal without a plan is just a wish and by consistently making informed decisions and committing to and implementing a plan, you’re much more likely to succeed.
You’ll have your own RetireMentor to help guide you through our approach and keep you on track. They can also answer any questions you have. If you choose to get matched with an affiliated retirement advisor he/she will offer you balanced and objective investment and insurance solutions in whatever combination makes sense for you. Your advisor will run simulations and projections used to make smart, research-backed and data-driven decisions about how to make your income last a lifetime.
