If you are lucky, you decide when you retire.

No pink slip. No “we are downsizing.” No corporate restructure.

The power to call it quits and ride off in the sunset is in your hands.

Ron Higgins, Journal Columnist, recently wrote this about Nick Saban.

I thought it appropriate for me, not that I am in Nick Saban’s class.

Yes, I decided to retire from Waskom, Brown & Associates, LLC. (WBA) in July 2023.

I did not retire from New York Life Insurance Company.

People have asked me when I was going to retire and I always responded “as long as I am having fun and helping people, I will not retire.”

Well, I am still having fun and helping people representing New York Life Insurance Company as I have for the past 23 years.

If I have not told you of my retirement from WBA, I apologize!

David Waskom and I had a great relationship for 24 years but as I have been told “sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do,” and I did what I thought was best for me and my family.

I retired and “repurposed” my time and energy to represent the best mutual life insurance company in the world, New York Life Insurance Company.

If you need my services, want to talk about your issues, or just want to sit and chat about your life, I am available at 213 Renee Street, Suite B or you can call me at 318/332-7684.

As a friend recently reminded me, “we are truly blessed way beyond what we deserve.”
