Welcome! I’m Ron Strobel, CFP®, founder of Retire Sensibly LLC. I began my career working as a financial advisor for several large wealth management firms. The focus on commissions, hidden fees, and other unethical behavior left me dismayed and looking for a better alternative. I quit my job shortly after earning my CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation and launched Retire Sensibly LLC. I help my clients: 1. Organize their finances 2. Invest intelligently 3. Feel more confident about their retirement plan I serve clients in Boise, Meridian, Caldwell, Nampa, and the surrounding areas. I offer a no-cost, no-obligation introductory appointment that begins with a 15-minute phone call followed by an in-person meeting in which we focus on establishing your family’s goals, values, and attitude toward investing. In my personal life, I enjoy working on home improvement projects, fishing from my kayak, and exploring Idaho’s outdoors.
