Years before joining Edward Jones, I worked in my father's small construction business, digging ditches and laying pipe. Working alongside my dad as well as being a first-generation immigrant, I understand working hard and doing a good job, making customers happy, the value of hard work and what it felt to earn a good day's pay. Unfortunately in the construction industry, we would work long hours in the summertime, hoping it would carry us through winter. I found out over the years that many times, my father would have to borrow money to get through the winter. I realized no matter what our good intentions were and how hard we worked, there were times our finances fell short. I'm sure you can relate to this in one way or another. In my practice, I strive to ensure these questions are answered: - When would you like to retire, and with how much? Is it too much, and will estate taxes be an issue? - Are you retired and wanting to make sure your money lasts no matter what happens in the market? - Have you gone through a job transition, whether by choice or force, and the "1-800" number isn't a help for controlling your old retirement accounts? - Are you thinking about consolidation and ensuring you have only one number to call to a human who knows and cares for you? - When we see another market downturn, how are your protecting your portfolio? No matter your background or phase in life, we will work together to unravel, build and navigate the life you want and dream of. We use an established process, building personalized, tax-efficient investment and planning strategies to work with you to achieve what is most important. This goes beyond wealth building but purposely planning together to move toward your goals to bring a bright and hopeful financial future. Whether you would like a complimentary, no-obligation review; you are just getting started; your current financial advisor is calling only once a year; or you have complex needs that require a sophisticated level of advice, contact me at (253) 236-4041 or mark.greynerovich@edwardjones.com. Outside the office, you can find me at the gym, thinking about my next move in a chess match, or out on the golf course, working on my swing and trying my best not to 3-putt.
