Client Testimonials
Jonathan's being very transparent and showing that he can be trusted. If I (Charlie) were to die, it is reassuring that all of our investments are in one place as my wife (Rosalee) is not up on investing so she is comforted in knowing she can trust Jonathan to advise her on what is best.
As most of our family and friends look to us as having integrity, they would consider our advice when we recommend Jonathan.

We feel very comfortable communicating with Jonathan, he is a good listener and we’ve never felt inferior regarding our investments. We liked his teaching methods as we navigate the vast financial world. His advice and guidance over the years (20+) has been very positive experience.
Jonathan, his team and us have formed a great team in our life’s financial strategy!

Knowledge and Trust are the reasons working with Jonathan makes our life better and would highly recommend PRG Financial. He does his research on investments, understanding a wide variety of options to create a diverse retirement plan. He listens to our concerns, lays out the facts, proposes plans and allows us the final say in what we want to do with our money. We also appreciate his willingness to connect us with both a tax accountant and a will/trust lawyer.

-Rule 4 “Make Good Choices”
Choosing Preferred Resource (PRG) was a great choice for us. Over 20 years ago we attended a ‘free dinner’ and met Jonathan and chose him as our financial advisor. Thank you very, very, much for helping us have the finances to enjoy retirement. Rule 4 and other choices are all factors and together Winnie and I are enjoying life.

"Working with Jonathan has been very comfortable and reassuring. I feel confident knowing
my finances are being well cared for and that my accounts are being handled thoughtfully.
He is easy to talk to, very knowledgeable, and makes both me and my family feel at ease. I
especially appreciate how open he is to speaking with my family, which helps everyone
feel secure. If you are not understanding something, he is very open to me asking
questions, and makes me feel comfortable, even if he explained it to me before.”

You did everything right. You saved, you budgeted, and you stayed invested for the long haul. So why are you and your neighbor, who did the exact same things and ended up with the exact same bank balance, living two completely different retirement realities? The missing puzzle piece isn't your savings total. It's timing. Enter the "Retirement Red Zone"—the fragile decade right before and after you stop working. If a market downturn hits just as you're making the handoff from building wealth to spending it, you could be forced to sell low and watch your nest egg shrink.
You spent a lifetime getting good at saving. Now comes the hard part: actually spending it. Retirement changes the rules, and for careful savers, flipping from “protect every dollar” to “enjoy what you built” can feel surprisingly uncomfortable. What if the next financial muscle you need to build isn’t saving… but spending with confidence? Your money has a job. Maybe it’s time to let it do it.
With the midterm elections approaching, it’s natural to wonder what the results could mean for the economy and your investments. While elections can create uncertainty and short-term market movement, history shows that long-term investment performance is driven much more by broader economic factors than by political outcomes.
