Testimonials
5/17/2020 - Finding
ACCURATE help was the most challenging part of
retiring. I went to 2 retirement seminars over
the years and was left more confused. You were
extremely helpful, by email and reading your
blog. I wish I had found you years ago.
10/12/2019 - Hello! My husband is a federal
retiree, and we have benefited immensely from
your newsletter prior to, and now during,
retirement. It is well written, current and so
helpful because of its focus on the unique
situations of federal employees and retirees. I
have especially valued your take on the down to
earth topics like health insurance, budgeting
and retirement preparation. I just want to say a
HUGE thank you for the time and effort you have
put into your newsletters and articles! Maureen
