Life Strategies Advisors, Inc.

Life Strategies Advisors, Inc. Financial Planning is not brain surgery. It should be a clear and simple process which you can understand and embrace with confidence. Member FINRA & SIPC.

Whether a few years from retirement, or already there, those that hire me feel relief as they are gently guided. I started Life Strategies Advisors in order to provide a service that I would have appreciated. I began my medical career almost 4 decades ago with loans on top of loans, and gradually accumulated some wealth that I didn’t know how to manage efficiently. So I learned, earning an MBA alo

ng the way. Whereas much of the financial advisory business is about sales, it is not one of my strengths. I approach my clients as I did my patients, laser-focused on their needs and aspirations, not on what I can sell them. Why & when do people hire me?

- When they lack the patience, emotional energy, or time to focus on optimizing their investments and financial life with confidence.

- When they realize that they would be better off by incorporating the complexities of investments, insurance, taxes, retirement plans, etc. into a comprehensive life strategy

- When they decided that their time is better spent elsewhere



To your health,

Daniel Ruben, MD, MPH, MBA

A modern retirement can last much longer than many people expect. That changes the conversation. Because when retirement stretches across 20 or 30 years, the question is not only, ”Do I have enough?” It's also, ”How do I want to spend my time, energy, attention, and purpose?”

The shift from pensions changed the story.
