Fee-only advisors can't receive kickbacks for investments they recommend. This removes conflict of interest when serving you as a client.
Fiduciaries are legally obligated to provide advice in the best interest of the client, unlike other advisors who only ensure their advice is "suitable."
Tedd Shimp is a Chartered Financial Consultant® and small business owner in Austin, Texas.
I joined immediately after high school, kicking off a 20–year career serving the nation and gaining invaluable skills and travel opportunities.
I attended the University of Florida through the Marine Corps, graduating debt-free and becoming an officer.
I married in San Diego three days after returning from deployment, starting a 19-year adventure together.
Officially expanded our family by adopting Charles "Charlie" Shimp, facing new financial considerations.
After 20 years of service, we moved to Austin, Texas, and became debt–free by purchasing a foreclosed home.
We found ourselves in debt after having two children, leading to a transformative financial journey guided by Dave Ramsey's principles.
In the same year as adopting our youngest son, while balancing work and family, I completed an MBA, leading to career growth in IT leadership.
I leveraged my IT background and MBA to transition into project management, allowing me to save and invest significantly.
After earning the Chartered Financial Consultant® (ChFC®) designation, I joined 11 Financial, dedicated to prioritizing clients' needs in financial planning.
"Before engaging with debt collectors, it’s imperative to verify the accuracy of the debt and the authenticity of the collection agency. This not only safeguards you against fraudulent claims but also ensures that your response is informed and strategic."
"Navigating the intersection of bankruptcy and tax debt requires careful analysis; while bankruptcy can offer a path to relief, not all tax debts are eligible for discharge. Understanding the nuances is key to charting a course to financial recovery."
"You can employ the SMART method. Ensure your goals are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. For instance, rather than simply aiming to ‘save more money,’ you can set a goal to ‘save $5,000 in a 401(k) for the year."
