Taylor Schulte, CFP® was named an Investopedia Top 100 Financial Advisor for 2019.
Investopedia annually awards financial advisors who have made an impact in financial literacy. Taylor is being recognized for his reach and influence as an advisor, speaker, writer, and educator.
Through the Define Financial blog and You Stay Wealthy podcast, Taylor aims to make retirement accessible to everyone. For this reason, he specializes in offering retirement planning strategies in simple, actionable steps that anyone can implement. Taylor reaches tens of thousands of readers and listeners across the world with his straightforward investing methodology and motivating tone.
Taylor’s goal is simple: to educate and empower people to make smart financial decisions so they can retire on their own terms.
“I started Define Financial because I saw large wealth management firms spend more time increasing their own cashflow than on their client’s financial needs. Instead, I wanted a place for people to receive objective financial advice, free of conflicts. Three years later, I created the You Stay Wealthy podcast, which continues to empower and motivate people around the world.”
Investopedia reports that there are 100,000 independent financial advisors in the United States. “I am humbled and honored to be recognized in the top 100 of such a diverse and respected field,” says Taylor.
Taylor was also recently awarded the 2019 “Shaping San Diego” innovator award from San Diego Magazine.
