“No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.” – Charles Dickens

Last week I was honored to speak at the South Carolina CPA Fall Festival event at the Columbia Convention Center. 

The topics were the lovely dynamic duo of:

  • Social Security
  • Managing Healthcare Expenses in Retirement

On Social Security, we discussed:

  • When couples should elect benefits.
  • When widows should elect benefits.
  • How to coordinate benefits with other retirement income. 

On Healthcare we discussed:

    Real financial planning for real life.

    Riverbend is a fee-only, fiduciary advisor. Our plans are personal, shaped by your values and designed to help you build a full life.

    Who We Are
  • What are the three Medicare enrollment periods.
  • What Medicare does and does not cover.
  • How to plan for uncovered healthcare expenses.

I am very thankful to be asked to speak. People did thank me for what was discussed. They said I did a great job. Have to say, I had no idea how big the event would be. Felt good to give back. 

Below are some pictures:








On the lighter side, Elliott came home Tuesday afternoon! I had him beat in chess and toward the end be both missed he was in check and called it a draw. But I am sure I would have won. 😊

He continues to do well at the University of South Carolina. He got his class schedule next semester. He is taking English, Chemistry, Business Calculus, Calculus (as if one isn’t enough!), and Statistics.

Hope all is well with you and your family.


Jeremy grew up in Nichols, South Carolina, where fishing with his dad sparked a lifelong interest in how money shapes our lives. Since becoming a financial advisor in 1996, he’s helped people navigate life’s biggest moments—and today, with Riverbend, he offers a calm, personal approach that helps clients focus on what matters.


Breathe easier about tomorrow.

Let’s talk and see if we’re a fit.
