If we hadn't met with The Retirement Solution, my husband would still be working. Instead, we took 10 vacations this year! They've made everything so easy for us.

Our Story

Common questions, answered

How much does the consultation cost?

The first conversation is complimentary. We won't ask for a credit card, won't take any of your assets under management on the call, and won't pressure you to commit to anything.

What's TRS's flat fee?

$700 per month, the same whether your portfolio is $500K or $5M. There's no AUM percentage, no commission, and no hidden fee. You can cancel any time within the first 12 months for a full refund.

What does "fiduciary duty" actually mean?

It means TRS is legally required to act in your best interest at all times, not the interest of an insurance company, a broker, or a fund manager.

What happens after the consultation?

You leave with a high-level view of your situation and a clear sense of whether a full plan is worth pursuing. If yes, we walk you through engagement; if not, we shake hands and you take what you've learned.

Most people hope for retirement.We help you build it.
