What Others Are Saying

Literally Saved My Retirement

Patricia J. - Florida

I'm preparing to retire in 2 years. Our family financial advisor recommended against annuities. I learned that his company doesn't offer them which is why he was against annuities. I did my own research and learned more about annuities from Mike at Retire Happy. Glad I did because when the market dropped last year I didn't lose anything. My brother, who has the same family financial advisor, lost $180,000 last year in the market.

Very Helpful

William H. - Dallas

I recently took the Retire Happy Course after considering an annuity for a portion of my retirement. After researching all my options, I was hesitant to make a decision because I didn't know where to start and didn't want to deal with all the salespeople. The Retire Happy Course helped me understand the process and gave me the confidence to make an informed decision. Its easy-to-follow modules were very helpful in understanding how annuities work and provided valuable tips on how to maximize my retirement. - William H. - Dallas

I recently finished the Retire Happy Course and it has been an amazing experience. It was the first course I ever took to learn about planning for retirement and it has truly changed my life. The lessons were so clear, easy to understand, and incredibly helpful. We've already implemented many of the strategies we learned in this course and are feeling more secure with our retirement than ever before. Highly recommend this course if you're looking to get your retirement in check! – Rebecca & James L.
