Ric Carrol
I help a lot of people create life-changing wealth, and get better every day! I educate teachers, public and government employees on their pension plans and guide them to a successful retirement. I help people to fulfill their retirement needs, eliminate risk, and protect their wealth. Teachers are always spending their time helping others that they seldom take the time to care for their own needs. Working as a substitute teacher or as a greeter at Walmart is not a successful retirement plan! I am an expert in most retirement areas, including safe money options, estate planning, life insurance, debt solutions, and even long-term care solutions. I work on behalf of you, not any specific insurance company, so I can be impartial and unbiased to make sure that it’s truly the best for you. I have access to most district-approved 403b providers, IRA companies, and insurance companies that are available in the country, so I won’t force you into a sole company that I represent. I can custom tailor a strategy to fit your needs instead of making you fit mine
If you want help with your TRS, TMRS, DPFPS, FERS, or ERS Pension Plan, Social Security, or creating an income that you can never outlive, then I can help you.

DO YOU WANT TO BE SAFE?
DO YOU WANT TO BE IN CONTROL?
DO YOU WANT TO BE IN CHARGE OF YOUR
FINANCIAL FUTURE AND YOUR RETIREMENT?

If so, invest 15 minutes so you can have the retirement that you deserve!
