About Curtis Arnold
Curt Arnold was born and raised in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin. Curt is a Financial Planner, Certified Financial Fiduciary, and Educator – dedicated to helping retirees navigate the unique challenges and opportunities of retirement. With a comprehensive approach, Curt specializes in retirement income planning, proactive tax strategies, and estate planning, guiding clients through key decisions that can impact their financial future. His clients, typically entering what he calls the “Retirement Red Zone” (Five years before and in retirement), trust his commitment to honesty and integrity as he crafts strategies that protect their hard-earned savings. Passionate about simplifying complex topics, Curt uses analogies and relatable storytelling to make financial principles easy to understand. He has become known for his engaging teaching style, both in his educational seminars and on his weekly podcast, Retirement Rescue Weekly, where he sheds light on the often-overlooked dangers of retirement, like inflation, market volatility, and rising taxes. With over 13 years of experience in the financial industry and a background in Television reporting, he brings a unique, approachable energy to his presentations – whether it’s discussing income diversification or proactive tax planning. As a Fiduciary Advisor, Curt believes in always acting in the best interests of clients. “This drives me to not only guide as a ‘Financial Quarterback’ but educate, empowering retirees to fully understand their options when making key financial decisions,” Curt says. “Every strategy is crafted to each unique individual and their specific needs. I want to help them protect and enjoy the retirement they’ve worked so hard to achieve." Curt and his family are passionate about volunteering. During the pandemic, they fostered 30 dogs. As a proud father, husband, and community volunteer, Curt extends his commitment to service beyond his practice, regularly contributing to charities and coaching youth sports. His audience, often retirees and pre-retirees, appreciates his sincere, straightforward guidance as he helps them make informed choices for a secure, fulfilling retirement.
