Financial Advisor: Do you know your earning potential?
Potential Client: No
Financial Advisor: It is the estimated value of the income you are expected to earn over your remaining working years. For Example:
Annual Salary: $75,000
Years until retirement: 30yrs
$75,000 x 30 = $2,250,000 (not considering raises, bonuses, inflation or investment growth)
Your biggest asset may not be your home or your retirement account - it is your ability to earn an income. Protecting that asset is one of the most important parts of a financial plan.

Retirement planning should help you feel more confident about the road ahead, not more overwhelmed by it. Creating a dependable stream of income can help bring a little more clarity to the future. I’d be happy to talk through it with you.

One of the most rewarding parts of my role as a Financial Representative with Northwestern Mutual is helping educators make the most of their Illinois TRS benefits while addressing important areas that a pension may not fully cover.
This includes strategies for income protection, disability coverage, survivor benefits, supplemental retirement savings, estate planning, and college funding.
My goal is to help ensure every piece of your financial plan works together to support your goals, protect what matters most, and create confidence in your financial future.
If you’re an Illinois educator and would like to better understand your benefits and overall financial picture, I’d be happy to connect.
