Our History

Our History

Sam and Debbie Payne are a husband-and-wife team who have worked together most of their married life. They began focusing on Retirement Income planning in 2009 and are passionate about helping individuals and families plan for the retirement they’ve always imagined.

Sam and Debbie both hold the Retirement Income Certified Professional - RICP® designation, they understand the many important decisions retirees face as they plan for long-term financial confidence. From creating dependable income to addressing inflation, taxes, and rising healthcare costs, these choices can have a lasting impact. Because many of their clients are retirees, the knowledge, deep experience and thoughtful guidance they bring to retirement challenges is invaluable.

Payson Wealth Management

WHY CHOOSE US

At Payson Wealth Management, we know how important it is to have someone you trust—someone who listens, understands your goals, and puts your needs first. That’s the kind of relationship we work hard to build with every client we serve.

We Put You First. Always.

As fiduciaries, we’re legally and ethically required to act in your best interest. But for us, it’s more than a rule, it’s simply how we believe this business should be done. You’ll never get a one-size-fits-all plan. Instead, you’ll get honest guidance tailored to your life, your goals, and your peace of mind.

We Help You Navigate Real-Life Risks

Retirement isn’t just about investments; it’s about protecting the lifestyle you’ve worked so hard to build. We take the time to explain the risks that can impact your retirement—like longevity, taxes, inflation, and market volatility—and we help you plan for them before they become problems. Our goal is to give you confidence in every stage of the journey.

We Believe Education Changes Everything

When you understand why something works, the decisions become easier. We love teaching our clients, answering questions, and breaking down complex topics so they’re clear and approachable. Better advice leads to better choices—and we’re here to make sure you feel informed every step of the way.

We Stay Connected the Way You Prefer

Good communication is at the heart of what we do. Whether you prefer to meet in person, talk on the phone, or connect over a video call, we make it simple and convenient. Many of our younger clients especially appreciate the flexibility of virtual meetings, and we’re always happy to connect however it works best for you.

We’re Here for Every Stage of Your Planning

While we specialize in helping people who are retired or getting close to retirement, we’re seeing more and more clients in their 30s, 40s, and 50s who want to get ahead of the curve. No matter where you are in the planning process, we’re here to guide you, support you, and help you move toward the retirement you’ve imagined.
