May 12, 2021
I had been thinking about if I would be able to retire, but had so many questions. Would I be able to afford it? Medicare and what supplement insurance would be best for me, estate planning? I decided to start with finding a financial planner. I talked to a many, but it wasn't until I found Darcy Borella at Maia Wealth, that I felt completely comfortable, felt like there was someone honestly interested in my well being. And she obviously loves her job, goes above and beyond. She doesn't forget you. She researched and found reliable people to answer all my questions. I can take a deep breath and feel like I am being taken care of. Oh, yeah, I can retire!!

Full disclosure. Most of the reason I went with them for my 401k rollover was my cousin Darcy is an adviser for them and I knew she would never steer me wrong. I live in another state and have zero knowledge of the company outside of that. Also, full disclosure I’m a loan officer and deal with many people in these services and I’ve been very happy
