Helping Without Derailing Your Retirement

👮‍♂️ In the Retirement Unit, financially-motivated crimes against common sense are considered especially heinous… These are their stories. DUN DUN. Hi, I’m Nick St. George, CFP®, and in today’s episode of Retirement & Order, we meet Rob and Jen Langston. (Not their real names, of course—the names and some details have been changed to protect the financially innocent.) They’re retired. Living the good life. Then BOOM 💥—curveball. One of their adult kids hits a financial snag. Rather than torch their retirement plan with capital gains or mortgage stress, we got creative. No, not "hide your money in a coffee can" creative—strategic creative. We used an asset-backed loan against their taxable investment account.✅ No closing costs✅ No tax returns or underwriting drama✅ No capital gains✅ No disruption to their portfolio Just fast, flexible help—with structure, boundaries, and peace of mind. 🎯 Moral of the story: You can be generous without going broke. If you're in the same boat, don’t play financial detective solo. Book a quick call—let’s protect your retirement and your sanity.
