The Retiring FITT® System
How We Got Here
After years of listening to new clients, often teary eyed, sitting in our conference rooms explaining the deep frustration they feel about their bad retirement decisions, Sharon Duncan, president of Selah Financial, began formulating a system for how to streamline the retirement process. “By the time these folks came to us, they had already been listening to and heeding a lot of conflicting and bad advice from well-meaning family members, friends, sales people, and even their company’s human resource managers,” Sharon explained. The day the idea really began to solidify is easy for Sharon to remember because it was when one of Selah’s long-time clients, Bob, came in looking completely distraught. He explained his situation in detail, feelings spilling out about how he may have nothing to give his children later in life, and even fears that he may run out of money for him and his wife!
Bob’s situation reminded Sharon of her own experiences as a young mother with a sick child, in which she received so much conflicting information from family, friends and doctors that she was completely at a loss. Although her son is happy and healthy now, at the time, Sharon had to learn to become a case manager for his medical situation. Because of these combined experiences, Sharon’s “heart of a teacher” took over.
“I finally just had enough and decided to restructure our retirement process so that we could offer the help people needed earlier in the retirement game,” said Sharon. “We became Bob’s retiring case manager right there on the spot!” Since our team of veteran retirement specialists are well equipped to provide guidance and strategies, we were able to redirect Bob’s retirement.
