Debbie Wilder is a Bank on Yourself Authorized Advisor; prior to this she was a Systems Analyst for 20 years.  Financially, she and her husband did everything they were told to do – 401(k)s, IRAs, 529’s for their kids, paid their mortgage down faster, and so on.  And where did it get them?  On the stock market rollercoaster, losing 40% of their assets in 1999, and even more in the early 2000’s.  In 2005, Debbie learned about the Bank on Yourself method using specialized whole life insurance, and she never looked back.  It stopped the slide of their retirement assets, it created predictability for their future, her husband stopped watching the daily tickertape, and most importantly, it saved their marriage.  After opening 13 whole life insurance policies, she decided to help spread the word and become an Authorized Advisor.  She always wondered why this was not taught in high school or college, so she’s passionate about educating others about it.

Debbie lives in West Hartford, CT with her husband Drew, two children (Bonnie and Sam), and dog (Snowflake). When Debbie is not working, you may find her taxiing her children around, coaching basketball, working out at the gym, or reading the newspaper.In order to provide her clients the level they expect and deserve, Debbie accepts only a small number of new clients each month who are committed to achieving lifetime financial security.
