I am Blake Martin, a local financial professional in the Pocono Mountains who helps business owners and individuals/families manage their financial future. I have teamed up with an independent broker dealer. By being independent, I have the freedom to structure my business in a manner that best serves my clients. I utilize a broker-dealer who provides services that include processing investment business, marketing assistance, practice management, and education. In addition, my broker-dealer holds responsibility for regulatory compliance and adherence to securities laws.

In a profession based on objective advice, true independence offers many choices intended to benefit you, the client. Your choice, of me as an independent financial professional, is the first step in getting unbiased recommendations and impartial guidance based directly on your needs and goals.

Ways to Save More

About two out of three American workers are saving for retirement, but less than half are confident that they will save enough money to live comfortably during their retirement years. This article includes suggestions for readers to take small steps that could make a big difference when they are ready to retire.

Investment in the Roth IRA has been growing dramatically. Fueling the growth of this popular investment vehicle are tax-free distributions in retirement and no mandatory withdrawals due to age. Compare the trade-offs of Roth IRAs with traditional IRAs, including eligibility limitations, annual contribution limits, and withdrawal considerations.

Insurance for Two Could Benefit Your Heirs

Survivorship life insurance offers a way to help a couple's heirs pay estate taxes, probate costs, and other final expenses — and could be especially important after 2012 when the federal estate tax is scheduled to be significantly higher. Even if the estate tax doesn't apply to an estate, the insurance proceeds could benefit heirs or a favorite charity.

What Kind of Investor Are You?

Although most Americans seem to understand that investment involves risk, there is a wide spectrum in how much risk each investor is willing to assume. Among the factors to consider are comfort level, time horizon, and net worth. This article helps investors to consider their appropriate level of risk.
