Buy & Hope

Is NOT a retirement strategy


  • Had to go back to work in retirement just to pay the bills

  • Second-guesses every gift, treat or vacation – taking the fun out of generosity 

  • Watches CNBC and their investments more than their grandkids. 

  • Built real wealth, only to now watch it quietly drained by avoidable taxes.

Maybe you know someone who…

Maybe that someone is you

You deserve a strategy built for living on your wealth. Not just growing it.

  • Build a Clear Retirement Plan

    We’ll make it so clear that even the spouse who’s never liked talking money will go from tuned out to tuned in.

  • Withdraw More, For Longer

  • More Living, More Giving, Less Worry

    When your income is steady, your hands are free to serve, give, and enjoy.

Tj Binkowski, Owner, Army Veteran

Your Guide to a Confident Retirement:

Hope isn’t a plan.

Hey, I’m Tj Binkowski — I’m a proud Army veteran & West Point grad and I’ve been a financial advisor at some of the biggest firms in the country and I’ve seen the traditional advice they give to retirees.

And what I saw… well, it fell short.

Retirees were handed cookie-cuter portfolios, vague risk scores and no real strategy — just hope in the market.

And they left with more questions than answers, like:

  • When can I afford to retire?

  • How can I make my money last?

That’s what we do here. We cover your deepest concerns with simple answers and build a strategy that responds, adapts and protects you — so you can sleep well at night.

Because your retirement should be built to last. To give you peace of mind. To give you freedom.

The right investments don’t just grow your wealth — they protect your future.

Ready to make sure yours is built to last decades?
