Michael Minter: 25 Years Helping Buffalo NY Families with Retirement Planning
For more than 25 years, Michael Minter has been a trusted financial guide to families across Buffalo and Western New York. In a city known for its hard-working people, strong values, and close-knit communities, Michael has built his career on providing retirement advice that is honest, personal, and easy to understand. Whether families are preparing for retirement, navigating Social Security, or simply trying to protect the savings they’ve worked so hard for, Michael has become a familiar and reliable name in retirement planning.
Buffalo’s financial challenges are different from other parts of the country. Many residents rely on pensions, union benefits, and state retirement systems. Others juggle aging parents, higher living expenses, and uncertainty about how long their money will last. Michael understands these realities because he has walked through them with thousands of local families over the last quarter century. He has seen economic downturns, recessions, high inflation, job changes, and shifts in retirement systems — and he continues to help clients build practical plans that work in real life, not just on paper.
A Practical Approach to Retirement Planning
What makes Michael’s approach unique is his commitment to clarity. He explains things in a way clients can truly understand — without overwhelming them with jargon. His retirement planning services include:
Helping families create stable and predictable retirement income
Protecting savings from market volatility
Reviewing pensions and Social Security options
Planning for long-term care and healthcare costs
Evaluating life insurance and legacy options
Helping seniors understand their Medicare choices
Guiding retirees through 401(k) or IRA rollovers
Michael believes every family’s financial plan should feel manageable and personalized. He listens first, teaches second, and builds a strategy that reflects each client’s goals and circumstances.
Serving Families Across the Country Through Secure Virtual Meetings
While Buffalo is where his career began, Michael’s reach has expanded far beyond Western New York. Today, he works with countless families across the United States through secure, private virtual meetings.
