When you leave your working days behind and start your retirement, you don't want to spend your time poring over bank statements and checking the markets. You have your own list of goals and priorities — things like travel, time with family, and hobbies. Those things should bring you joy, but they can't do that if worries about your finances are getting in the way.

Over the past 50 years, American workers have seen access to guaranteed pension programs plummet from 50% of the workforce in 1970 to just 11% today. That leaves most of us in charge of planning for our own retirement income, and the vehicles most of us use for saving aren't necessarily meant for paycheck replacement. How can you create a reliable "personal pension" from your nest egg?

We dive into that in "The Wells of Wealth System," book, and you can check out a summary of that chapter on the Chamberlin blog: https://hubs.la/Q04jPlGD0

(Don't have your copy of the book yet? There's a link in the post to set up your call with a Retirement Educator, and they'll get one in the mail to you ASAP!)

Private pensions are disappearing, leaving a gap in retirement income. Learn how holistic planning can turn your 401(k) into a reliable personal pension.

It's the first weekend after Memorial Day, the unofficial kick-off to summertime. Now that school's out and the weather's getting warmer, many of us will be hitting the road to visit friends and family, hit the beach, or spend time in the woods. There are lots of good ways to pass time in the car — listening to "The Retirement Planner" podcast, or watching episodes of "The Wealth Council" and "The Wells of Wealth Show" that you've saved, for example. But having a roadtrip playlist to keep the energy up is another clutch move. 🎶🚗
We asked our team for their recommendations, and here's what they had to say. Where are you heading this summer, and what's on your travel playlist?

Chamberlin is based in St. Louis, but we work with clients nationwide. Our advisors are licensed in 40 states, and people in 48 states have taken advantage of our educational resources.

Earlier this month, we had the privilege of hosting some of our local clients at our St. Louis headquarters for the "Wells of Wealth System" book launch party. If you haven't signed up for your free copy of the book, you can schedule your strategy session with a trained and certified Retirement Educator here: https://hubs.la/Q04jdB7R0
Make sure to mention the book and they'll get your copy dropped in the mail.

Just like our other services, though, we're excited to take the book and our message national. "The Wells of Wealth" show on CNBC is six episodes, each themed around a chapter from the book. Episodes 2 and 3 air next weekend, Saturday and Sunday, June 6-7, at 9 a.m. central time. The remaining three episodes air at 9 a.m. central on Sunday, June 14; Sunday, June 21 and Sunday, June 28. We hope you'll tune in and check it out!

Matt and Julie met online. They knew a long-distance relationship could lead to something valuable and long lasting. So even though they live in Florida, they were willing to take a chance on a Chamberlin advisor based at our headquarters in St. Louis. We work with clients across the country – our advisors are licensed in 40 of the 50 states. Want to learn how it’s worked out?

David and Mary Kay live on Florida’s Gulf Coast, so you can’t blame them for being skeptical of a company offering them retirement planning help from hundreds of miles away in St. Louis. They did their due diligence (like everyone should!), and their work with Chamberlin advisor Scott Nolen has revolutionized their financial life.
