Biografía

Hello! I’m Linda Grizely 🐻 (pronounced Grizzly). If you feel behind, overwhelmed, or like you “should know more by now,” you are exactly the kind of person I love helping. I especially enjoy working with Gen Xers who are juggling priorities, trying to save more, catching up for retirement, or worried they haven’t built “enough” yet. I help you understand where you are financially, clarify where you want to go, and create realistic strategies to move forward with confidence. My approach is collaborative, judgment-free, and practical. You can ask honest questions and discuss your options without shame, confusion, or pressure. Together, we’ll focus on real-life decisions and steps you can follow.

Lo personal

Cary, IL

I grew up in Colorado on the front range of the Rockies. I hiked mountains, snow skied, played in fields and creeks, and enjoyed beautiful sunsets. Now I live in the Midwest with my family nearby. I know I am unusual, but I like the weather better here. In my free time I enjoy playing golf (with an incredibly high handicap), singing karaoke, lounging in my backyard, and soaking up the sun.

Linda was very helpful with questions my aging mother and I have after a medical event requires my help as Power of Attorney. A good resource for where things are after selling her home and looking at a different living situation.

Happy to be a resource!

Thank you so much. I really enjoyed working with you, and I'm glad I could help bring some clarity to the situation. Wishing you both all the best, and I'm always here whenever you need additional guidance or next steps.

Great guidance and pragmatic solutions

Linda was very helpful. She asked great questions and listened well so she could help me with the things I didn't know, as well as things I thought I knew that weren't quite correct. She had some brilliant suggestions that I would not have thought of myself.

Helpful & action-oriented

Linda was very helpful! I had two very different questions and she was able to help me figure out my next steps in both scenarios within an hour. She also sent a detailed recap with more resources to look into, her recap was much more detailed than my own notes so I really appreciated it :)

I Highly Recommend Linda

Linda was very knowledgeable and had fantastic answers to my questions. We covered everything from retirement to real estate to financial planning for a family. Not only did she provide her perspective verbally, but after the meeting, she sent additional information and resources and a recording of our session, which were very helpful.

Thank You for the Kind Words

Thank you so much for this review. I really enjoyed working with you and appreciated the opportunity to talk through your questions around retirement, real estate, and family planning. I’m glad the follow-up resources and recording were helpful, and I wish you all the best. I'm here when you're ready to revisit things or do a deeper dive.

Can I retire early

I'm a single mom looking to retire early and create a plan around FIRE yet still have to look at college expenses for a child and Long Term Care Insurance. When can I stop saving for retirement? Linda gave me general information on what to focus on especially including knowledge of my expenses per month and Can I live off of 4% of my portfolio, more than being fixated on having 12x my income saved to retire. She also gave me access to the Nectarine Software to analyze if I'm on track and where am I falling short. I would recommend working with Linda!

— Linda Grizely

Very helpful!

Linda was extremely knowledgeable and answered all my questions. The summary email had all the information I needed to take action based on our discussion. She even shared a great tool that will help me review my retirement data in more detail. I would recommend speaking with Linda for questions about your retirement!

Great Listener and Strong knowledge of industry

I liked Linda's demeanor and she explained things quite well. She was nonjudgemental and I learned some key facts from her. I feel like my plan forward is strong, and I appreciated her guidance. She has strong, active listening skills.

So glad I gave Nectarine a try

I had a great conversation with Linda. She helped set my mind at ease about a number of financial issues that I've been confused about. She is a great listener and explains things clearly and simply. She sent me a comprehensive email after the meeting with additional resources. Very pleased with my experience and will probably come back again with more questions.
