Getting Older Happens

In many ways the financial planning movement is quite new. Many point to the origins of financial planning starting in the late 1960's and early 1970's. I consider myself fortunate to have started my career near the beginning in 1975. But I consider myself more fortunate to have had the opportunity to be around some of the true pioneers who had the passion and dedication to push the idea of objective financial advice forward.

One of those pioneers is a gentleman by the name of Ben Coombs. Ben was in the FIRST class of Certified Financial Planners to receive their designations in 1973. He has served in various leadership positions in the professional associations over the years. Ben is always a man with ideas that are timely and relevant to consumers and planners alike. One of his recent causes was to create a mentoring environment for new advisors in the growing profession. Another is the creation of his new content delivery system entitled "Getting Older Happens" designed to be a resource for the over 70 age group and their families/advisors.

Take a look and pass it along to those who may receive some value from it.
