I used this when you pointed it out previously, and it was great. I was truly impressed with the thoughtfulness of the person I spoke with, who actually called me back as the line was too busy to get to everyone who called.

Hey, thanks for the info. I just posted a Kiplinger article on Your Retirement Life. And I really liked the article. But, my question is… and this is where your head’s up will come in… how do I build a nest egg to the size I need? How do I increase my Nest Egg to include at least 1-Million?
Honeybee, glad to hear that it worked out for you well. I will definitely be giving them a call.

I think it is over sold. I emailed questions the past couple of years and got, i should pay someone from NAPFA. I wasn’t even asking specific questions, rather i asked a general question of how are we doing. anyways, what a scam of self promotion, albeit a free one.

@ Tim
It sounds like you got a couple of lemons, but we had a completely different experience. We emailed a general “how are we doing overall” question and a specific question about investing a lump sum last year. The planner who replied asked for some more details and then gave us fairly detailed advice, of course hedged with disclaimers about only knowing what we had told him etc, etc, etc. He also offered to respond to follow-up questions for up to three days after the Jump Start day and did so. So it’s not a scam of self promotion for every planner who participates.
