West Financial Group ACHIEVE FINANCIAL FREEDOM

No longer part of the workforce, you look forward to spending weekends on the golf course and maybe even taking a cruise to the Bahamas.

To be able to enjoy those things, it’s vitally important to have a post-retirement financial plan in place. After all, people are living longer these days, and the last thing you want is to outlive your hard-earned money that you’ve accumulated throughout your lifetime. Your investment philosophy changes from return on principal to return of principal, shifting away from high-risk investments to investments with lower risk.

Skip West and his dedicated team at West Financial Group are passionate about helping clients meet their fi nancial needs in retirement. Skip, who graduated from the University of Arkansas with an industrial engineering degree, has spent some of his career in corporate America. He later started a solar pool heating company with $5,000. In 20 years, the company achieved a net worth of $20 million.

But few things excite him more than helping clients manage money during their retirement years. That’s evident by the fact that more than 90 percent of his business comes from referrals.

“None of my clients have ever lost a dime,” said Skip, who is president/chief executive officer of the company. “At West Financial Group, we work closely with clients and get to know their financial and personal situations to find the right products for their retirement goals and risk tolerances. I enjoy being there for clients all the time. I develop personal, one-on-one relationships, and every client has my cell phone.”

Working alongside Skip is Becky Kelly, who has a background in accounting and serves as the company’s vice president/chief financial officer. She is equally passionate about helping clients achieve financial success through proper planning.

“We take a team approach here,” she said. “We sit down with clients, discover what their needs are, and make sure we’re a good fit. We also frequently communicate with them through emails and special events.”

West Financial Group helps clients achieve fi nancial success through annuities and life insurance. Annuities can help increase savings, protect what you’ve saved and generate a stream of income. Two big advantages of annuities are that you can generate a fair return without market risk and can create an income stream you can never outlive. More importantly, you participate in a portion of the upside of the market and never participate in any of the market’s downside.

“With annuities, your principal can never go down and again you can earn a fair return without market risk,” Skip said. If you’d like to know how you can achieve fi nancial freedom during your retirement years, then visit

Understanding Venous Reflux Disease

Healthy leg veins contain valves that open and close to assist the return of blood back to the heart. Venous reflux disease develops when the valves that keep blood flowing out of the legs and back to the heart become damaged or diseased. As a result, vein valves will not close properly, leading to symptoms of:

Varicose veins // Leg heaviness and fatigue

Pain // Swollen limbs

Skin changes // Skin ulcers

Using ultrasound to scan your leg(s), your physician will determine if superficial venous reflux is present. Treatment is outpatient procedure performed in the office. Relief of symptoms within 2 days and the average patient usually resumes normal activities within a few days.
