Welcome, welcome, welcome 👋

If you’re reading this, I’m guessing you’re here as a result of downloading our retirement guide.

That means we can skip the small talk.

If however, you’ve stumbled on this page through other means, here’s what you need to know:

  • We’re Joslin Rhodes.
  • We’re Pension & Retirement Planning specialists Authorised & Regulated by the FCA.
  • We help local people in the Teesside and Middlesbrough area.
  • We have been established for over 20 years (we’re in-between the Mercedes and Porsche garages on Preston Farm Business Park, Stockton. I bet you’ve driven past us loads of times).
  • We manage over £190million (and counting) for our clients.
  • We like coffee, reading, going for long walks, baking cakes and doing our bit for charity, as well as 70’s, 80’s and 90’s music.
  • We’re pretty darn good at helping people who want to make the most of their golden years, make sense of their pensions and retire comfortably knowing they can live the life they want.

Anyway, about that free consultation…

Taking another guess here, but if you’re reading this, my assumption is you think our guide is at least somewhat useful.

Perhaps it’s helped you understand your current financial position, given you an idea of what income level you’ll need to retire, or kick-started your passion to live your best life.

Either way, as the saying goes – You ain’t seen nothing yet.

Look, with us we tell it like it is. This means no financial jargon or gobbledygook.

We exist to help hard working local people like you understand how to plan and achieve the life you want.

Case in point:

OK, So Why Choose Joslin Rhodes?

Well quite simply because our service puts YOU at the centre of all decisions, not financial products!

Our clients come to us with all sorts of questions, some are very technical, and other questions are from people just beginning to consider their options.

Here are some of the questions we hear most often:

  • “Is this pension any good?”
  • “What should I invest in?”
  • “Do I take my tax free lump sum?”
  • “Should I consolidate my pensions of leave them where they are?”
  • “Should I buy an Annuity or is Drawdown the right way to go?”

What we’ve found is that, no matter what the question is, it can usually be answered very simply and easily by considering what exactly it is you want from retirement. 

What we do is develop a personalised plan that fits your unique needs, and then we guide you through every step of the journey for support and to make sure you’re always on track

Without blowing our own trumpet here, we’re:

We say this not to impress you, but to impress upon you just how life-changing proper financial planning can be.

But, there’s a problem…

Where Most Retirement Plans Go Wrong (Even Those Made By Financial Advisers)

The most important part of the process is you, and what you want your life to look like.

Many other financial advisers out there go through a tick box exercise, asking the same questions, in the same order, over and over again.

We firmly believe there’s no point jumping in with “You need to do this with your pension.” or “Choose this investment, this one’s good.” straight off the bat.

No.

To know what’s best, we first need to know what it needs to be best at!

That’s why at Joslin Rhodes everything is about you, we spend a tremendous amount of time getting to know exactly what you want out of life and what you want in retirement.

Once we’re certain that we know what you want, and more importantly, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT.

Then, and only then, will we begin looking at whether or not you have enough pound coins in your pensions, savings etc. to do it.

And there’s the key word, ‘enough‘. 

What’s enough for you isn’t the same as what’s enough for everybody else. 

It’s about us working with you to answer ‘enough for what?’.

And, this could be any number of things, that when combined give you your ideal life and lifestyle. 

So your ‘for what?’ could be…

  • “I want to know I can retire when I choose.”
  • “I want to be able to look after my family.”
  • “I want to enjoy my hobbies.”
  • “I want to enjoy holidays and travel.”
  • “I want to redo the house and garden so it’s just like we want it.”

It’s about building all your ‘for whats?’ into a plan that shows you either you’ve enough already to do the things you want.

Or if not…

What needs to be done with your pensions, savings and investments to make it happen.

The Magic Of Lifestyle Financial Planning

Be honest now, we’re probably the last stop on your journey to working out if you’ve enough to retire.

When you’re thinking about retiring you’ll ask a lot of different people more or less the same questions.

There’s Dave down the pub, the couple at work who have recently put their notice in and are about to go on a long cruise and celebrate their retirement.

There’s your parents.

Now all of these people will likely explain their own difficulties and challenges and surmise that they had a relatively good experience of retiring.

It might give you a little bit of confidence, but it doesn’t answer YOUR questions.

Their situation was a little bit different to yours and that leaves unanswered questions.

So how do all these people retire in comfort knowing they have enough money?

These people have answered their BIG questions.

The important questions.

One of them… “What exactly do you want to do in retirement?”

There’s Nothing Worse Than ‘What If?’

“We don’t regret the things we did do, rather we regret the things we didn’t do, and wish we had.”

There’s little worse than looking back at an opportunity you passed up, and thinking “What if …?”

One route you can go down is to do nothing. To not sign up.

That’s definitely a choice.

But that likely means nothing changes today. You continue on as you are. Which is fine – if you have freedom, no financial worries, and are completely set on your retirement plan

But the other route you can go down is to take a zero risk chance on finding out exactly where you are now and if you’re in a position to retire.

Don’t let doubt hold you back from what could be.

Don’t look back in years to come with regrets that you chose not to have a chat.

Take a chance on Joslin Rhodes and let us PROVE to you that you CAN do this, you can retire on your own terms and lead the life you want.

If you’ve got this far, I’m sure you have what it takes.

Are you?

To sign up simply click the button below, follow the simple instructions on the page and you’ll be all sorted in just a few minutes.

Will you be a victim of doubt…

…or take a chance on yourself, and a chance of changing your situation, your life, and having true time, and financial freedom in retirement.

Whatever you decide, thanks for reading.
