About Rhonda

Rhonda spent 24 years handling claims for a large insurance company in Columbus. When she took an early buyout at 52, she realized how little she understood about her own pension options, and she read contracts for a living.

She got licensed, studied retirement income planning, and opened Tate Retirement Advisors in 2019. Most of her clients are five to ten years from retirement: teachers, county workers, nurses and state employees with OPERS or STRS decisions, plus private-sector workers weighing a lump sum against a monthly check. She builds each of them a written income plan that shows what arrives every month and where it comes from.

Rhonda sings alto in her church choir and plays pinochle with the same three friends every Thursday night.

What members say about Rhonda

3 testimonials

My son is a sheriff's deputy about five years from retirement, and he had no idea how his OPERS options worked. Rhonda spent two hours with him and his wife and gave them a written income plan. He called me afterward to say it was the first time it made sense.

Gene Holtz Holtz Farm & Home Insurance

Twenty years as a hospital nurse and I still didn't understand my own pension statement. Rhonda showed me what the lump sum and the monthly check would each mean if I live to 90, on one printed page, and I finally made the decision I'd been putting off.

Tess Villanueva Kalinga Home Care

The retirees who've worked with Rhonda know to the dollar what they can spend on a trip. One retired teacher booked her whole family on an Alaska cruise for next June, because Rhonda's plan showed exactly what she could afford without touching the principal.
