Real life isn’t always a bed of roses, but with a retirement life designer like Katie Benson, you can avoid some of the thorns.
At first, the connection between floral design and retirement plan design may seem a little hard to grasp. However, once you understand the elements of putting together a visually stunning, emotionally impactful design, you will discover the similarities.
Born and raised in Georgia, Katie Benson’s entrepreneurial zeal, energy, and creativity spurred her to travel the world and then return to the US to create a thriving small business., Bloom Atlanta. Bloom Atlanta, was a popular and well-regarded floral designer to Atlanta’s booming television and film industry.
When she was an in-demand flower specialist and prop creator, Katie’s work was seen on well-known television series such as the Netflix productions, Ozark and Sweet Magnolia. You can also find her beautiful arrangements in the Marvel Universe and in Clint Eastwood’s film, The Mule.
In addition to creating attention-grabbing floral art, Katie passionately advocated for the worldwide elimination of child trafficking. Past volunteer work sent her to Southeast Asia to work with organizations seeking to halt human trafficking. Katie continues to support these organizations’ efforts.
Katie’s decision to specialize in safe money retirement solutions stems from watching her hard-working parents’ finances suffer as the result of poor money advice. She discovered that even self-described retirement “experts,” often provide misleading and conflicting information that is little more than hype and sales pitches. Many of these purported retirement specialists are, she concluded not well-versed in the products they sell and often don’t have up-to-date information.
“I watched my parents search for solid, reputable guidance to get the most from their savings. As they neared retirement and needed a good, safe place to put their funds, I saw them coming up short, time and again. It was heartbreaking to me to watch them endure these experiences, especially since my father is one of the hardest workers I know. They deserved better,” she says.
Katie chose to become THE BETTER; educating herself on products designed to provide guaranteed streams of income that retirees won’t outlive. In the process, she decided to market these safe money vehicles the right way- by telling the truth about how pre-retirees can use them to avoid running out of income in retirement. Katie wants seniors to enjoy security and peace of mind, no matter what the market is doing.
When Katie is not busy helping retirees and pre-retirees grow their savings and become more resilient and risk-averse, she indulges her passion for ballet, Broadway musicals, photography, painting, art, reading, and everything Shakespeare.
