About

Hi all,

I’m Ha Le, owner of Milky Way Retirement.

I help you retire, in a dignified and comfortable way.

And this is why I do what I’m doing and why I love doing it.

I came to the U.S in 2010 while my husband was pursuing his Ph.D degree in Engineering in UIUC, Illinois. At that time, my visa status did not allow me to work though I had a Master degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages.

I had been a stay home mom for 10 years.

I had been worrying for my financial future for 10 years.

And when I got the working permit from USCIS, I learned that if I couldn’t manage my financial life, I may not have a dignified retirement in a place considered being as my second home.

Therefore I started my journey as a life insurance agent. Then I learned about Long term care planning, Estate Planning,

But I felt it not enough.

I wanted to have a secure retirement. Yep, I’m a woman, and I don’t like taking risks. I discussed with my husband about out financial future, but I felt like I’m looking at several pieces of puzzle but not a whole picture of retirement in the U.S.

So I started my learning path again, to become a CRPC – Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor.

I want to help myself first, in this seem-to-new environment where I have no one before me telling me how to save for retirement. I also want to challenge the retirement experiences which Vietnamese immigrants are sharing for each other. There are no “one size fits all” solutions for retirement.

I love helping people.

I want to help my Vietnamese American people.

I want to help you retire in dignity with all of your hard-earned assets.

I work with CPAs, estate planning attorney, and other financial institutions to give you suitable solutions to your unique retirement problems.
