Beyond the Numbers: A Story of Trust, Growth, and Retirement Success

At Assad Wealth Management, we're not just about numbers—we're about changing lives. Today, we're thrilled to share the inspiring journey of Monique Foltinek, a client whose story exemplifies the power of personalized financial planning and trusted advice.

Monique, a 56-year-old professional in Calgary's oil and gas industry, came to us with a dream: early retirement and financial security. Growing up watching her parents live paycheck to paycheck, she was determined to craft a different future for herself.

“I need to start investing. I need to start saving for my retirement because as good of a life my parents had, I don’t want to just rely on my paycheck to paycheck,
— Monique

Enter Hash Assad, our Executive Financial Consultant. With his experience and Monique's determination, a powerful partnership was born. Through implementing solid financial planning and investment strategies, Monique is now on the cusp of achieving her long-held dream of "Freedom 55."

The journey wasn't always smooth sailing. Market volatility brought challenges, but Hash's steady guidance kept Monique on course. As she puts it:

He’s been very active in my investment where he will see that we’ve ridden the wave of a certain stock and will inform me that we’ve got out of it what we wanted.
— Monique

What sets our approach apart? It's the personal touch. Monique emphasizes, "He makes me feel like I'm his only client." This level of attention and care has fostered a relationship that goes beyond numbers—it's built on trust and mutual respect.

The results speak for themselves. Monique now looks towards retirement with excitement and a profound sense of security. In her own words: "I'm there. I'm in the zone. It's what I've been waiting for. It's sort of the aligning of all the stars."

Perhaps the most heartwarming aspect of Monique's story is her gratitude:

I’m so thankful that I’ve made it. I’m so thankful that Hash believed in me, and that he allowed me to trust him. That I took that leap of faith with him. And I didn’t look back. It’s unbelievable. I am just so truly blessed that he and I met up, that I was able to be one of his clients.
