Kimberley Last teams up to offer services

Kim Last and her firm, Kimberley A. Last Financial Services Inc., have teamed up with May-Investments and Retirement Outfitters to provide financial planning services.

Kim has been in the financial business in the Grand Junction area since 1998 and holds several professional certifications, including Certified Financial Planner, Chartered Life Underwriter, and Certified Long-Term Care Specialist.

She says she enjoys showing people how money can work for them, and she strives to make sure clients understand what she’s talking about. There’s no mystery about money; the key is to recognize that financial success is a balancing act between income and spending.

“You can’t spend everything right now and still have a decent retirement,” Kim says.

That’s where planning comes in.

“Planning gives you choices,” Kim says.

Kim grew up in Ottawa, Canada, and spoke English and French in her youth. She attended the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, graduating with a major in journalism and a minor in languages. She worked at IBM Toronto, editing the internal magazine for software engineers.

In the early 1990s, she fulfilled a dream and lived for a while on a sailboat, sailing mostly in the Sea of Cortez and the waters of Mexico, Panama, and Costa Rica. She has bicycled from Canada to Mexico, rafted the Grand Canyon, and visited places such as Africa and Thailand.

In the Grand Junction area, she and her husband, Al Kreinberg, enjoy hiking, rafting, and other outdoor activities.

“We’re pretty outdoorsy. We try to get out camping once a month,” Kim says. “I just love this community.”

Kim can be reached at 970-257-1630 or by email at klast@brokersifs.com.
