What does serving in the Air Force, living around the world, working in oil and gas, and building a career in financial services have in common? For Mindy Rodriguez, each experience helped shape the way she works with people today. In this episode, Jeremy sits down with Mindy, a financial advisor with Edward Jones in Shreveport, to talk about her unconventional path into financial planning, why relationships matter just as much as numbers, and what people should really be thinking about when it comes to retirement and their financial future. Mindy shares how joining the Air Force at 19 took her from Japan to England and Portugal, how she eventually found her way into financial services, and why she believes good financial planning isn't simply about trying to make the most money possible. It's about figuring out what you want your life to look like and building a financial plan that helps you get there. They also discuss retirement planning, 401(k)s, taxes, investment risk, planning for life's unexpected events, and why sometimes a financial advisor's job is actually to tell a client: You've saved enough. Go enjoy some of it.

It should begin with: "What do I want my life to look like?" How do you want to live in retirement? What experiences do you want to have? What do you want to leave your children or grandchildren? How much risk do you actually need to take to accomplish those things? Once those questions are answered, the investments become part of a much bigger plan. And sometimes good financial planning isn't about saving more. About Mindy Rodriguez Contact Mindy Mindy Rodriguez is a financial advisor with Edward Jones in Shreveport.

When Should You Consider Talking to a Financial Advisor?
