Kristin Colca, after starting her career in the banking industry, noticed that conventional financial wisdom was not working for many of her clients. A low-interest rate environment combined with Wall Street volatility and a growing pile of debt made it almost impossible to plan or create a secure plan for retirement. Further complicating these issues are the financial “experts” and “advisors” that are too quick to recommend one-size-fits-all solutions without fully understanding their client’s goals or dreams. Kristin’s mission is to create custom-tailored financial strategies for her clients that empower them to achieve financial freedom. Connect with Kristin Colca at learnmorewithkristin.com.
