"I've been working with the team at The Financial Retirement Group for years. One of the things I like so much about working with them is that they always take the time to help me fully understand my choices. And once I make a decision to go a certain way, they handle all the details to make it easy for me to finalize things quickly. The FRG team makes my life easier and takes the anxiety out of financial planning. I'm very lucky to have them as a resource." *

"I started with this team back in 2005 and we’ve worked together to set up several income streams for my retirement.  Here are a few reasons why I chose this team and have stayed with them:

 

  1. Trust - from the beginning, their thorough and clear explanations of recommendations and tracking of progress have instilled a strong feeling of trust that allows me to look forward to retirement with confidence.

 

  1. Kind - I have always felt that my best interest is their goal and they have treated me with great kindness.

 

  1. Knowledgeable - even though my knowledge of financial planning is limited, I believe they’ve demonstrated thorough knowledge of the plans laid out for me and have been able to describe each with clear and simple explanations." *

"I have been working with FRG for almost 20 years. Next year I will be 75 and have seen the ups and downs of the stock market. I generally feel very confident in my retirement based in large part from working with FRG and purchasing annuities. In the next few years, I will begin to annuitize these investments, and the cash returns should enable me to live comfortably throughout my and my spouse’s lives. I consider them experts in this field and have appreciated their counsel over the years." *

Laura B., Denver, CO - Client

"When I wanted to retire after 45 years of “the grind”, I quickly became overwhelmed by the complications of products and processes that the financial sector offered to me. Blessed by a referral to FRG, their expertise, personal analyses, and outstanding client care, I gratefully met my income goals and after almost 12 years together, I continue to feel confident in my income stream and valued as a customer and friend." *

"I have used the Financial Retirement Group for over 15 years. They have solidified my income and allowed me to retire with additional funds.

 

The customer service provided by Ben, Bob, Andrea and Mike has been great and they have always supplied me with forms, documents and answers when needed.

 

Recently I sold a business and was looking for a path forward on how to save the most money and have the most income. I interviewed 4 other investment services, I should have started with them and ended with them. They did me a solid." *

"The Financial Retirement Group (Ben DiSalle, Bob Malone, and Mike Malone and their assistant Andrea) have been nothing short of exceptional.  Their planning strategies have allowed me to relax in this down market and still be able to keep my retirement date in mind.  In addition, they are continuously reviewing my account to see if there are any additional ways they can help speed up my retirement date.  I cannot thank them enough for giving me confidence each and every day knowing my investments are in good hands." *

"I was referred to the Financial Retirement Group by my grandparents who have now both passed on! I am so glad that I listened to them. Everyone that we have dealt with there have been very easy going and very knowledgeable. Couldn't be happier with where and who I am taking advice from and handling my money." *

Carla B., Westminster, CO - Client

Carla B., Westminster, CO - Client

"Two of my most significant financial decisions was to contribute to an employee 401(k) plan, and then subsequently, transfer the 401(k) funds into an annuity plan through Financial Retirement Group. It happened prior to the "big recession," and I was retired but working part-time and becoming more and more worried as I observed the diminution of my hard-earned dollars in my 401(k).  Furthermore, as I noted with trepidation  President George W Bush traveling the country attempting to sell Americans on privatizing Social Security on which I would soon be depending, I became worried. 

 

After a long career in human resources management including administering 401(k) plans for employees, I was convinced that was the path to financial retirement security.  I continue to believe that as long as at retirement time we are experiencing a robust stock market.  A friend recommended FRG and subsequently, being a reader and writer but with little interest in finance, I put my financial retirement in what has proven to be expert hands: Bob, Ben, and Mike.  Although I can live on Social Security and a small savings account, the lifetime interest from the annuity has made a difference in maintaining my home, and at 83, enjoying a financially secure, comfortable life." *

Art A., Lakewood, CO - Client

Art A., Lakewood, CO - Client

"I joined the Financial Retirement Group well over thirty years ago before it was called the Financial Retirement Group. It was just Bob Malone guiding me and my previous wife heading towards what we were hoping to instill confidence in our retirement and future. It was his interest in old classic Lincoln cars that drew us to him to help guide us but so much more than that for us to stay with him and his company for all the years that followed.

As associates joined Bob and the business continued to grow, so did my trust in Bob and then Ben Di Salle, Mike Malone (Bob's Son), and, finally Andrea Bonifacino, rounding out an office of very professional financial people. Going it alone financially to have a good plan in place for a worry-free retirement demands professional help.

Now, here we are, all these years later after making that choice in this group of professionals, living the dream, as a retired couple. Our house and cars are paid off and we travel occasionally...We still watch expenses, but we couldn’t have had this kind of success were it not for the financial guidance and encouragement we got from the members of the Financial Retirement Group. Nice to know there's still some honest business people left that take pride in what they do. Thank You." *

Dudley E., Golden, CO - Client

"I've been with The Financial Retirement Group for the past 14 years and it's been a pleasure working with their entire team.  Everyone is very professional and they take the time to explain your financial retirement options in a way that makes sense.  They take a no-nonsense long-term approach toward your financial retirement.  It's a win-win relationship because their success is linked directly to their clients' success.  I like the time they spend with me during what I call their semi-annual "refresher meetings" where they review your goals, performance of your portfolio, and answer any question you may have.  They are available any time to answer questions along the way, and they give out great tasting pies around the holidays to their clients!  I would highly recommend sitting down with Ben, Mike and Bob to discuss your specific retirement goals." *

Camillo D., Broomfield, CO – Client & Brother of Ben DiSalle

"FRG is not only a Financial Institution, I look at them as my personal financial umbrella when it comes to my financial security. In today's world. Many have tried to obtain my accounts with promises of protecting my assets.  This company has proven over and over they have the experience and skill set to manipulate and manage my funds so I can plan my retirement with confidence.  I strive to meet my personal goals and dreams in my life, however, part of that success is knowing this team has my back and I do not need to worry about my retirement funds. I am confident with FRG.

 

Thanks," *

"The folks at The Financial Retirement Group have treated us with great respect and kindness. They fully understand their responsibility of providing us with sound financial advice so that we can retire in peace.  They are there for us when have questions and are actively reaching out to us making sure we are comfortable with our options.   It has been a wonderful experience having The Financial Retirement Group in our corner. " *


Melinda N., Boulder, CO – Client

"I had 2 other financial advisors before I signed on with FRG. Neither had sat down and gone over how I was going to reach my goals for retirement. Ben and Mike were honest and straight forward with me about where I was financially. They worked with me to create a plan to achieve what I needed to feel secure about my future. I feel lucky to have found FRG!" *       

Brian W., Collierville, TN - Client

"My wife and I were referred to Ben at FRG through my mother-in-law. I had called Ben to help me with my 85-year-old mother’s finances to help secure her funds and future after selling her home of 50 years. Ben and Mike not only helped my mom feel comfortable about her finances but gave us financial advice to allow her to have access to money if needed but also to secure her to live a comfortable life.  

 

Ben and Mike proved their mission statement was correct, they empower their clients by developing accurate and timely financial information to provide a lifetime stream of income. My wife and I now have FRG Ben and Mike managing our financial portfolio. My only regret!! I wish I would have met them when I was younger.  Under their financial advice I feel comfortable saying we will feel comfortable about our finances when we retire.   

 

Sincerely, " *

Diane D., Aurora, CO - Client

"I'm not sure how many years I have worked with Ben, Bob and Michael. At least 20 I know.  They helped my parents before that.  When I didn't have much, they encouraged me and treated me like I was their biggest customer.  When I retired and my Corp 401k tanked, lost half, they coached me and helped me pull the pieces together.  With their help, I can, at 78 with an 86 yrs. old husband, be relaxed about the future and know we don't have to depend on my kids - and may even have some left for them to enjoy.

Thank you @TheFinancialRetirementgroup for being here for me." *

Tim F., Los Alamos, NM - Client

"It gives me pleasure to write this recommendation for Michael Malone and associates, “FRG” I have worked with them for almost 20 years now and believe they provide successful advise on financial recommendations for the retired persons. They are personal, professional and give you a genuine feeling of comfort in the joint decision making. It is awesome knowing that your future finance situation is getting excellent care." *

Ed H., Centennial, CO - Client

"I have seldom interacted with the Financial Retirement Group due to my procrastination. However, I do know when I need help, This team is there to assist and direct me in the correct direction. I look forward to get back into working with the group this year to setup a good plan for myself and retirement.

Thank you" *

Erik B., Mesa, AZ - Client

"Whether it's Mike, Bob, or Ben, I’ve always been able to pose questions and get a meaningful response; be it an explanation about something I'm not clear on, a hypothetical, or for future planning purposes.  They have proven themselves to be willing, responsive, and will follow-up, which I have found to be rare in the financial services industry.  I look forward to the day that I have more assets to put under management simply because I know they will be in good hands and that I can sleep easy!

 

Best Regards," *

Gary M., Longmont, CO - Client

"I have always felt confident with my investments and will be using you in a couple months to start monthly distributions as I retired starting 10-01-2020. I have talked to other Rocky Flats people who have use you your company and reassure me of the stability for retirement. 

 

I am very glad I talked to Ben back in 2005.

Thanks for your help" *
