Roger Whitney – Retirement Answer Man, Financial Planner, Define Your Ideal Retirement with Balance Today & Tomorrow
Roger Whitney began his career as a Financial Advisor in 1991. This allowed him to witness first-hand the rise and fall of the “new economy” and the Dot-com bubble that ended in 2000. This experience taught him that financial management is about people, not money, and that they are served best by advisors that are fiduciaries to their clients and have the heart of a teacher. In 2003, he left the largest private bank in the world and, with two wonderful partners, established their own firm which he grew to 14 professionals managing over $200 million in assets. He is now excited about his weekly Podcast dedicated to helping you Plan Well and Invest Wisely for retirement. Roger shares lessons, stories, tips and insights on how to make smarter financial and investing decisions, all learned from working with people like you over the last 23 years.
