Background
Author of “The Quiet Money Machine”
Steve Jurich is the founder of THINK Retirement Inc. and THINK Wealth Advisory, LLC, located in Scottsdale, Arizona, and Las Vegas, Nevada. He has counseled hundreds of retirees since 1994, after a successful career as a real estate broker. He is known for his expertise in annuities and income planning for retirement.
Steve is best known as the host of his popular financial talk radio show, which aired from 2015 through 2025, “Mastering Money.” The content-rich program was Arizona's only daily radio show dedicated to retirement. Unlike pre-recorded weekend radio infomercials to sell products, Steve's show was known for contemporary, relevant content related to investing and retirement. The entertaining show amassed well over a thousand on-air appearances and over 500,000 podcast downloads. His new weekly podcast is titled THINK Retirement NOW.
Steve is an Accredited Investment Fiduciary, a Certified Annuity Specialist, a Kiplinger contributor, and a member in good standing of the Financial Planning Association. He is licensed in securities and insurance/annuities.
Steve originated the THINK WEALTH Smarter Bucketing System and is the author of the Amazon bestseller Smart Is the New Rich and the Quiet Money Machine. He has personally placed over $200 million in annuities during his career and managed over $60 million in equity assets at Fidelity and Schwab. Steve's commentary has appeared on MarketWatch, CNBC.com, Bloomberg, and TheStreet.com. He serves clients nationwide with an emphasis on Metro Phoenix and Las Vegas, Nevada.
Steve now broadcasts a weekly podcast, “THINK Retirement Now,” which continues to explore, explain, entertain, and inform. He works with discriminating individuals planning their retirements who want facts, not sales maneuvers. Steve partners with vetted agents and advisors nationwide, supported by a multi-billion-dollar annuity organization that leads the field.
Our mission
Where Do You Want to Go? What Do You Want to Do?
Guiding every decision with integrity, clarity, and your goals in mind.
You get one shot at making this life everything you want it to be. And this is your only retirement. The most important things in life are time, health, love, and money, in that order. (The first three are tied for #1.) That said, getting your money right definitely does matter. Not just your lump sum. Your income. In fact, we believe your personal wealth is not just how much money you HAVE, but rather how much money you have coming in every month and the reliability of that income.
The more money coming in, over and above your expenses on a guaranteed basis, the “richer” you will feel, and the more time you can buy, which can lead to better health and deeper relationships.
Our mission is to help you do all of what you want to do and to go where you want to go — with the confidence that you'll be receiving the same amount of income next month and every month from now on. Want to travel first class all the way? Let's do it! Buy a vacation home? Let's make a plan. Even if the stock market falls by 50%, your income is secure and your financial plan is intact. Stop guessing. Start living. More retiring professionals are discovering how the right annuity can be the financial cornerstone toward the goal of a confident, worry-free retirement.
Retirement is easier with cash flow that doesn't go away.
A quick call may be your first real step to a plan you don't have to second guess.
