Financial planning as a career found Jim Bear somewhat accidentally about 20 years ago. A family member was financially hurt based on poor investment advice. That event made financial planning Jim’s career choice. Today, Jim focuses his efforts on people over 60 years of age—their need for income, safety, and reduced taxes and risk. He works with those on social security; those who need income; and many who need to convert their home sale to monthly income to pay for their senior living. Today’s financial marketplace is complex.
