About Us

---

Philip Wade Seymour is a seasoned financial educator and lifelong teacher who believes that clarity—not complexity—is the key to confident decision-making in retirement and estate planning.

With more than thirty years of experience in business administration and financial services, Philip has helped thousands of individuals and families navigate the maze of saving, investing, and preparing for the future. Now in his early sixties and walking the same retirement path he teaches about, he brings a rare mix of professional insight and personal perspective to every book he writes.

Philip’s own transition into retirement revealed an important truth: retirement isn’t just about money—it’s about peace of mind, purpose, and protecting the people you love. His mission is to translate technical financial concepts into simple, actionable steps anyone can follow.

Through his growing Practical Series—including Practical Retirement Planning, Practical Living Trusts, Practical Probate Planning, and The Impractical Retirement Bucket List—Philip offers readers a complete roadmap to prepare, protect, and enjoy their next chapter. Each book blends clear financial strategy with lifestyle guidance, emotional awareness, and humor, reflecting his belief that good planning should feel empowering, not intimidating.

Philip’s approachable style resonates with readers who feel overwhelmed by financial jargon. He writes the way he taught in the classroom: with empathy, humor, and step-by-step clarity. His examples, checklists, and “teacher’s tips” help readers move from fear and procrastination to calm confidence and control.

Whether you’re just beginning to plan, approaching retirement, or already living it, Philip’s work will guide you from confusion to clarity—and from simple survival to meaningful, joyful living. His books are more than financial guides; they are invitations to live intentionally, protect what matters most, and leave a legacy of love, order, and peace of mind.
