 Right now, most people (almost 80%) depend on Social Security to provide the majority of their retirement income. But with SS checks averaging around $1000/mo, it's not enough to give them the retirement they hope for.
When it comes to investing, if you're not self- directing (educating yourself, then choosing, monitoring and adjusting your investments) the first question people ask me is "How do I find the right investment advisor for me"?, followed by "So Chuck, who is helping you and Lori implement your retirement plan?".
Matt Bell, partner at Alamo Asset Advisors, is guiding Lori and me to achieve the financial future of our dreams. We chose Matt after interviewing some of San Antonio's top advisors several years ago. I deeply admire Matt's approach because he also shares my principles of living debt-free, giving generously and saving for your future. I'm impressed with Matt's track record of excellent results, and his emphasis on total client satisfaction. He also specializes in retirement rollovers, fixed income strategies, annuity reviews, long-term care insurance, college saving and divorce situations. And I like that we can review our accounts on-line, anytime at our convenience.
If you count on your investments securing your future or simply have lost confidence in your current advisor, then contact Matt Bell at 210-930-9000,

I’ve looked high and low for an absolutely super solution to solve my clients and listeners mortgage challenges. That’s when I found Alamo Premier Mortgage Group.

  I am very proud to
be one of San Antonio's key Luxury and Ultra-Luxury Home agents. Through my affiliation with Kuper Sotheby's International Realty
, I am able to serve my clients
with an unbelievable amount of attention and expertise. My marketing
techiques for all properties go far beyond the traditional marketing
that you see everywhere. I truly believe that you have to experience a
home to know what it's really about, so I work to use face-to-face
marketing and networking to directly reach out and bring the buyer of
your home to you. Not just put it on the MLS and hope someone shows up.
It takes so much more than that.
 For buyers, I'm constantly networking within the
real estate community to find those under-valued properties, or
properties that I know would be a perfect fit. I'm constantly staying
on top of the available inventory in the market. That way, when a buyer
first contacts me to tell me what they're looking for, I'm usually able
to think of a few properties right off the top of my head that would be
perfect for them. Once we locate the correct property for you, I'm able
to use my knowledge of the market and negotiation skills to help you
get the best deal possible.
I also help buyers and sellers in all price
ranges. I love what I do, no matter the price of the home. Some of my
most rewarding experiences are helping first time buyers find their new
home.

Oh my gosh.
There are very few times I walk into an establishment and think "Wow, this place is really cool!". You know, that get your attention / wow factor experience.
That's how I felt when I first visited the Alamo City Auto Spa.
The best part isn't that they use the most modern vehicle washing equipment available and computer systems that are recognized as the most advanced in the full service vehicle washing industry.
Or that they, unlike Laser Touchless wash systems, use no harsh chemicals that could hurt a vehicle's finish and actually use less water to clean a vehicle than if you washed it yourself in your own driveway.
Or that, with no questions asked, they also honorably offer a 48 Hour Rain Check, just bring your receipt and they'll wash it again at no charge!
Or even that you can get your hair cut, grab a cup of coffee or get the dings removed from your car while you wait!
The best part is ... that I've never seen my car cleaner and had a better "red carpet" experience anywhere (and I've been to ALL the other car wash places) than an Alamo City Auto Spa. If you're in a hurry, you can even do their "Stay In - Drive Away" express wash for only $8!
Yes, they had me at hello.
You can find their benchmark location (several more are coming soon!) at Stone Oak Parkway and 1604 or at www.alamocityautospa.com. Their number is 495-9600.
When you let them give your vehicle the treatment, be sure to let him know your friend Chuck sent you!
