EP 010: On this episode of The Retirement Success in Maine Podcast we travel to our Portland office to have a really great conversation with Charlie Dibner. Charlie is the President and Founder of Aurora Financial Group in Portland, Maine. Charlie has been in the Financial Services Industry for over four decades and we discuss with Charlie how the Financial Advice industry has evolved over time. Specifically, we wanted to discuss the following: With retirees living longer in retirement than we've seen, what types of challenges have come about that we haven't thought of? Have financial advisors adapted their practices to meet these challenges? What could the industry do better to solve these challenges? What have we figured out? Specifically in the State of Maine, do you think that those needing financial advice have different goals/attitudes/needs than those you encounter in other states? (I.e. we're a rural state, do things like geography come into play? or does our work attitudes play into how we think about retirement?)
