Articles about financial transitions

Over the last fifty years, life styles and life spans have changed dramatically. Anne Bedinger recognizes the new issues, challenges, needs, and opportunities those create for her clients. She has invested significant time and effort in achieving Financial Transitionist^® certification through the Sudden Money Institute (SMI) to better serve clients through the several transitions that may occur in their lives.
