Andrew Kinney is a Retirement Management Advisor® (RMA®) based in Edwardsville, IL, with over 40 years of experience helping families manage their financial affairs. Specializing in retirement income planning, Andrew focuses on building sustainable income strategies for retirees and those planning to retire within the next 15 years. His expertise lies in “decumulation”—the art of generating income for life during retirement.
Andrew employs an Income for Life Model®, a strategy designed to provide inflation-adjusted income throughout retirement. By allocating assets strategically, this model emphasizes long-term income streams that can help retirees navigate the challenges of increasing longevity and uncertain taxation. As more Americans rely on personal savings to create their retirement income, Andrew’s approach ensures a stable, sustainable income for the future.
With a diverse background in financial services, Andrew’s career spans 18 years in full-service lending, 6 years in wholesale mortgage lending, and 15 years as a Retirement Income Partner. His transition to independent financial advising in 2007 allowed him to offer client-centric solutions, focusing on risk-based tactical money management. This shift came after he experienced the benefits of this approach during the 2008 market correction, leading to his desire to work directly with families and business owners for a more personalized and rewarding client experience.

A resident of Edwardsville for over 30 years, Andrew has been married to his wife Zy for 35 years. They have two daughters, Kara (33) and Rachel (30), and a granddaughter, Blair, who is 2 years old. Andrew’s philosophy of independence ensures that he operates with a fiduciary duty, prioritizing his clients’ best interests and focusing on managing relationships rather than just money. His commitment to delivering tailored retirement solutions makes him a trusted partner in retirement income planning.
