Unlock Your S.M.A.R.T. Plan: A Comprehensive Guide to Retirement in Louisiana

After a successful thirty-five-year career with Exxon, Christy Smith’s father thought he’d done everything right to prepare for retirement. He and his late wife had built a stock portfolio in their 401(k). He also took the lump sum from his pension and rolled it into an IRA.

Unfortunately, not long after retiring at age fifty-eight, he quickly realized that an investment portfolio was not the same thing as a retirement plan. He turned to his daughter for help, changing both their lives and her career path.

Although she’d been working with seniors, specializing in Medicare and long-term care insurance, Christy was now determined to help others avoid the same predicament as her father. Her work as the founder of Presley Wealth Management inspired Christy to write this comprehensive guide for retirement, Unlock Your S.M.A.R.T. Plan: A Comprehensive Guide to Retirement in Louisiana.

The book centers on diverse strategies encompassing many retirement considerations that Christy has examined in her twenty-seven years as a financial advisor.

A wealth of experiences prompted Christy and her team to develop the S.M.A.R.T. plan, which helps clients recognize different aspects of retirement.
