Every January, I hear a lot of ambitious promises. Things like, “I’m going to lose 30 pounds,” or “I’m going to learn a new language.” It’s good to set goals, and there’s no better time to start fresh than at the beginning of a new year. Yet, by February, most resolutions are abandoned.
No matter how important a resolution is to you, without a clear plan in place, you likely won’t meet your goals. Real change doesn’t happen in one grand gesture. It happens through small, consistent actions repeated over time. We set ourselves up for failure by trying to change everything overnight.
Now, I’m not trying to pass judgment. I’ve let a few resolutions slide too. Those goals sound great in January, but then life picks up speed again. Over the years, I’ve realized the real problem isn’t commitment. It’s my expectations.
That’s why, this year, I’m keeping my resolution simple.
I’m doubling down on what matters most—my clients. Secured Retirement has always been about helping people live comfortably through their retirement. In 2026, we’re taking this commitment even further. We’re focused on being more responsive, more available, and more attentive to what you need.
With that in mind, we’re launching a Client Only Priority Phone Line for and a Client Service Email to give you priority access.

If you’re ready to work with a team committed to putting you first, let’s talk. We’ll create a plan based on small, manageable steps that add up to real results over time. In other words, we’ll build a retirement plan that actually sticks.
Let’s make 2026 the year you stay the course.
CUP OF JOE
From Joe Lucey, Founder of Secured Retirement
There’s something about sitting down with a steaming cup of coffee that always kicks my day into high gear. And it’s not just because of the caffeine it sends coursing through my veins.
Throughout my career, some of my biggest revelations have come to me in conversation with my mentor over a cup of joe. Good conversation and personal connection can pick you up in a special way. It’s that feeling that I’m hoping to bring to you with my series, your Cup of Joe.
