Client Stories
I feel more secure in my future because of my Financial Advisor’s advice, knowledge and friendship.
I was a recently widowed woman after 42 years of marriage, without any financial plans for my golden years, which were fast approaching. My daughter-in-law's sister referred me to Financial Advisor Stephen Thaeler at First Command.
At our first meeting I asked him to talk to me like I was in kindergarten, because of my lack of financial knowledge. He took the time to learn about my financial circumstances and goals and then walked me through a plan designed to protect me for my future years.
When I first became eligible to collect Social Security, he encouraged me to wait because I was working full-time and didn't need the extra income. I think he had to tell me three times before I understood the benefits of waiting, which ultimately increased my monthly income for life. Stephen has been my Advisor for 10 years and I feel more secure in my future because of his advice, knowledge and friendship.
