3 Big Tax Mistakes EVERY Retiree Makes (Real Examples)

Hi.
We’re Root
Your friendly neighborhood financial advisors.
I’ve seen the good, the bad, and the ugly in financial situations. I’ve also experienced what it feels like to be anxious about your money.
I grew up in a home where money was tight and finances were a struggle. Without control over your finances, life can be stressful and chaotic, and everyone around you feels it. It can prevent you from doing the most important things in life.
I’ve also seen a lot of bad financial advice. There are financial salespeople out there who will try to give you textbook answers about what you should do with your money to make a quick buck. They’ll have you fill out a generic questionnaire and run your numbers through some basic software, all to give you the same blanket advice they provide every client.
But life isn’t templated.

We think you’re pretty cool.
You have your own lived experiences that won’t fit neatly into a box like anyone else’s.
And the truth is, there isn’t a rulebook with investing. With this prescriptive thinking, you’ll work hard and save—only to find that you’re following advice that isn’t helping you live the life you want. There’s not enough out-of-the-box thinking.
This is why I started Root Financial.
