Marra Financial Group

Marra Financial Group We consult with and educate people about their money. How to save it, how to invest it when they have it and how to make it last. That's the short version

You may have accumulated money for retirement in a 401(k), or an IRA etc. But accumulating it, and having a plan on how to turn it in to income that will hopefully last throughout your retirement, are two vey different things. You have to have an "income" plan. That's what I do. I can teach you how to do this on your own, through the free resources I am happy to share with you, or I can design an

income plan for you. Either way, this small task is important! I have many resources for you to EASILY understand the process and what you should be doing, including my book entitled "Retirement Planning Made Easy" as well as an easy to follow workbook that corresponds to the book. You can complete your outline in as little as 90 minutes. If you're thinking "I don't have enough to worry about", you have what you have, and so you work with that. Everything you do can make a difference, whether you have $50,000 or you have $2,000,000 or more. You have to know where you stand, and if it's not where you want to be, if it won't give you the lifestyle you want when you retire, then at least you know that now and perhaps there are things you can do to change the outcome. Get in touch with me, I'll help you, or I'll help you to help yourself!

You may have noticed a spike in the number of online scams floating around these days. I get multiple spam calls a day, and some of them have the potential to be threatening, especially to seniors. Our team created a list of dos and don'ts for online safety in 2025.

DO: double check the caller ID when answering the phone, do check the email address of a suspicious email, and be cautious of who follows you, and what personal information you post online.
DON’T: give credit card info over the phone, don’t click on any suspicious links or files that are sent via text message, and don’t post public information about your family, i.e where your grandkids attend elementary school.

Stay Safe, and Stay Aware! If you have any questions about online safety, always ask a friend or loved one before taking any action.
