Jim Jorgensen

Jim Jorgensen is a nationally syndicated radio host specializing in personal finance and retirement. He is the best-selling author of six personal finance books, including The Graying of America & It's Never Too Late To Get Rich. His book Retire Tax Free draws on his 30-years of retirement planning and tells how retirees could lose 40% or more of the money they withdraw from their IRA, 401(k) or pension and how Congress will reform the entitlements.

Jorgensen graduated from the Hass School of Business, University of California Berkeley, and immediately became an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps. Jim then qualified for an advance six-week class of the stock market by a major stock brokerage firm located on Wall Street. Returning to California, he started his major financial planning firm. After publishing his first bestseller, Jim embarked on numerous radio and television tours in major cities across the country. As it turned out, being on the air came naturally to him.

This led to Jim’s own radio call-in show on CBS in San Francisco before he transitioned into a radio hosting position with ABC. Over the next several years, Jim penned four additional books on personal finance while touring the country on media tours. He was even asked to come to New York City and host a weekday program on WOR Radio—the nation’s largest radio station with studios in Time Square.

Following his time in New York, Jim and his wife returned to their home in the San Francisco Bay Area, and with the help of satellite radio, Jim Jorgensen on Money was heard on radio stations across America. Jim continued to write retirement and personal finance books while staying busy as a keynote speaker at major conventions worldwide.
