“
As we approached our mid sixties, we struggled to understand the best way to deal with the "do's and don'ts" of Social Security and how it related to our retirement plans. Claire and Thomas were able to not only address all of our concerns, but helped formulate a retirement plan that we now know will alleviate any concerns we once had. Their patience, compassion and continued guidance have brought peace of mind for both of us and we would most definitely recommend them to anyone looking to plan for their financial future

Since our marriage in 1999, Ilene and I have interviewed and talked to many financial planners and for a variety of reasons always came up short. On several occasions, we were taken advantage of due to our ignorance about investing. Since our investments are diversified between real estate and the stock market, we never had the minimum cash requirements to invest with Wall Street giants like Morgan Stanley and Charles Schwab. Then, in 2014, we met with a “player” and invested our money with his firm in a program he had developed to cater to folks like us who didn’t have the “big” money, but were serious investors. Although we were pleased with the results, customer service was lacking—we just felt like a number.Then, a year later, my wife registered us for a seminar regarding social security. We attended the seminar and I was “blown away” by the information that was so clearly presented by Thomas and his daughter, Claire. I had no idea how convoluted the Social Security system was! We met with the a couple of weeks later and discussed our finances with them and I was pleasantly surprised with the recommendations given us. We finally met our financial planners for life. If you have any doubts and concerns about investing and who to trust, as we did, I encourage you to sit down with Thomas and Claire and ask them a lot of questions—you may be pleasantly surprised as well. Feel free to contact me at the number and email above—I would be happy to chat with you.

My wife and I attended a seminar held by Golden Guard Financial presented by Thomas Braun and Claire Braun regarding investing for your retirement future.
We were impressed by the presentation and signed up for his individual meeting based on our own financial goals /information.During this meeting they laid out options for us to consider. The meeting was very informative with no pressure to take action, but to educate and make us think we are making the best choices.The team follows up often and is not just a group who gets your business and leaves you to your own devices, or wondering what is happening to my investments. They review and make suggestions if necessary at these follow up meetings. I have been every impressed with the attention to details and follow up every so many month to see if anything has changed that would affect my financial goals. Everything they promised me they have done and more. They are committed to me and my family to be successful in my financial goals. I can call at anytime and they are more than willing to take the time to answer questions or provide information for me to review.I would recommend this group to any of my friends as I feel comfortable in their hands.
