Powerful Retirement Guidance Tool Released by Two leading Retirement Plan Experts
Powerful retirement readiness tool "www.CompassRetirement.com" officially released and user licenses are now available.
(PRWEB) August 23, 2005 -- Nationally respected retirement experts, Brooks
Hamilton and Matthew D. Hutcheson, who are both Master Pension Fiduciaries(tm)
and two of the three co-founders of the ERISA Fiduciary Guild, release the long
anticipated www.CompassRetirement.com retirement readiness Internet
application.
Never has the need for such a tool been so great. Baby
boomers will start crossing the age-60 threshold next year at the rate of 7,400
a day. This is 220,000+ per month, and according to the Federal Government
(agingstats.gov), nearly 40% of all retirees live in or near poverty! 40% is not
okay! 10% is not okay for that matter! The mission of CompassRetirement is to
help make a difference for Society.
www.CompassRetirement.com is considered to be one of the most
sophisticated, yet easy to use and affordable retirement preparation and
guidance tools ever created.
www.CompassRetirement.com is the result of the tireless
efforts of noted pension attorney Brooks Hamilton and independent fiduciary
Matthew D. Hutcheson. This project has also benefited since its inception from
the invaluable wisdom and insights of Mr. Scott Burns, syndicated national
financial writer. CompassRetirement was developed over a 20 year time frame, and
embodies their thought, insight, elegant simplicity, meticulous attention to
detail, and depth of knowledge.
“Many of us, descendants of the ‘Greatest
Generation,’ saw our parents struggle with the financial burdens imposed by the
times, which included both the Great Depression and WWII,” Mr. Hamilton says. He
continued by saying, “I knew as a young man that I did not want to witness my
children facing the same financial dilemmas as my parents. Perhaps not entirely
by chance, an entire professional life devoted to the field of employee benefits
followed with much thought, energy, and passion focused on a single idea: how
could a worker be made aware of her/his likely future financial well-being soon
enough to afford them the opportunity to take the simple steps required in order
to be financially OK when they retired? Joined by others in this quest, it has
been a dream come true to witness the evolution of Compass. We all know
hindsight is 20/20; Compass now allows foresight to be 20/20
also!”
Matthew D. Hutcheson stated that "CompassRetirement.com removes a
significant obstacle in the retirement preparation process. Individuals who want
to improve their retirement readiness need to focus on income replacement, not
just the accumulation of funds. For individuals to be truly secure at
retirement, they must understand important income replacement concepts.
CompassRetirement.com cuts right to the heart of this matter, and solves the
income replacement riddle. All workers will benefit from CompassRetirement, as
it is the perfect compliment to one's existing retirement plan."
Hamilton and Hutcheson called upon the expertise of Jenna Schmidt, a
Microsoft Certified Solution Developer (MCSD) and president of www.artifextech.com. Jenna
and her team accomplished a Herculean task with precision and grace. “Artifex
has poured its heart and soul into developing www.CompassRetirement.com. We have spared no expense and the
application is the brain child of some highly intelligent creators. Artifex
devoted its top complex logic programmers to the project, making the creators’
visions come to reality. This was by no means an easy project, but the outcome
is everything we had hoped for,” says Ms. Schmidt.
Hamilton and
Hutcheson expect to sell several hundred thousand www.CompassRetirement.com subscriptions over the next few
years.
