Randall Robichaud – Financial Advisor & Financial Literacy Advocate
Personal Notes
The drumbeat of financial self-sufficiency and financial independence was always around me as a kid. I took that message to heart, and over the years, I’ve learned how to build wealth choice-by-choice and bit-by-bit. I’m driven to help others achieve this same financial wherewithal because the too frequent reporting on Americans’ paltry savings, especially retirement savings, troubles me deeply. I’m determined to shine a bright light on the tactics and abilities everyday people have to create their own wealth so their hopes and dreams have a tangible roadmap to become reality.
