My name is Marshall Goins and I’m a SmartVestor Pro for Northern California. I know that not everyone can be a SmartVestor Pro. That's why I consider it a privilege to be helping clients in our local communities reach their goals for financial peace.
I’ve followed Dave Ramsey for a lot of years and recognize the impact he’s had on the lives of people around the country because I’m one of those people. When my wife and I attended Financial Peace University several years ago, the things Dave taught helped us communicate more effectively about money. In fact, using cash envelopes changed our marriage.
I know the impact that having your financial house in order can have on your retirement plan. Eliminating debt and investing for the long term is the ideal way to build wealth and prepare for the future. That’s why when I meet with clients who haven’t attended Financial Peace University, I always encourage them to attend a class. The long term benefits to your marriage, family and future are invaluable.
One of the things I appreciate about Dave is his step-by-step approach to financial freedom. You don’t have to be older or have a lot of money to move forward with your financial goals. In fact, when it’s time to start investing, no amount is too small and no age is too young. What you need is a plan.
