I became a financial planner after watching my very successful father encounter financial difficulties as he neared retirement. He had not planned differently for his second 50 years thinking that his approach to saving and investing would keep him secure. He didn't count on the unknowns around his business, finances, lifestyle, and health. Although he had great advisors, they didn't act as a team or plan comprehensively. Watching this unfold was a lifelong lesson for me. It made me the lifestyle preservation planner I am today.My dad's experience changed my thinking to help me discover a better way to plan for life’s second 50 years. As the saying goes, “The skills that got you out of Egypt are not the ones that will get you to the promised land.” I broadened my vision with three key questions about a person's second 50 years: How do people financially manage this time in life? What do they genuinely want? How do they stay healthy and vital to enjoy their second 50?With this thinking I came full circle – I went from financial planning into the lifestyle preservation business.Along with my team, we developed Lifestyle Preservation Planning™ (LPP™) to address the expanded needs of successful entrepreneurs and executives who require a different financial plan for their second 50 years.
