Design the Retirement You Actually Want: https://stan.store/Michelle50/p/design-the-retirement-you-actually-want
I'm 54, I'm single, and I manage my own money — no financial advisor, no AUM fees, no one steering my retirement but me. In this video, I'm sharing why I said no to hiring an advisor, the three honest reasons behind that decision, and the simple system I use instead to manage my own portfolio after 50.
This one is for the solo women over 50 who've been quietly wondering if they really need to hand the keys to someone else. You might. You might not. But it shouldn't be the default answer.
