Michael Paulding Thomas

I'm an Investment Advisor specializing in retirement income planning (but I do much more). The primary principle that has guided my 32-year career is: Do What's Right.

As nearly as you can tell, when you think of your retirement, does it seem more probable that you will outlive your money or your money will outlive you?If you don't know, here's what I offer: a no-cost, no-obligation second opinion.If you're open to it, I'd like to review your financial goals and portfolio with you. If I think your investments continue to be well-suited to your retirement, I'll gladly tell you so, and be on my way.If, on the other hand, I think some of your strategies no longer fit with your goals, I'll explain why in plain English and recommend some alternatives.Understand that regardless of the outcome, there is no obligation nor cost to you.
