Gary F. Restall
(author)

The least of all "Financial Planners" and bucking the trend, my practice and keen knack specialized in teaching and mentoring sound no-where-else-taught foundational life principles affecting household finances with a net result of:
     1.)  increasing cash flow super positively and quickly while eliminating all sorts of money problems and difficulties due to too many bills, outrageous credit card and debt buildup; bankruptcies; family tragedies, breakups, and divorces before, during or after any of these occur; and from other pre-conceived mis-conceived "issues"
     2.)  assisting people to be much better organized to increase their true joy while preventing future problems in all 7 areas of life, and
     3.)  other issues to relieve the stress in life to really really really live life more abundantly
     4.)  putting the client first ... AND ... meaning it.  (Hence, perhaps the reason for so many personal family and co-worker unsolicited referrals?)

It has been said that "Gary F. Restall was an every day VERY  profoundly  PRACTICAL  yet FULL OF THEORY educator, a mentor or tutor, an encourager, a motivator, a listener as well as a professional advisor / consultant."  You can read some of the humbling endorsements and comments here.

I was also known as a published author in local and national media.

Full disclosure - Personal, very straight forward heart-to-heart personal

In addition to the professional knowledge and experience mentioned above, I have known what being deeply in debt is all about with no job nor credit and bill collectors not caring.  I was (and still am in many ways) a nobody with all sorts of "personal issues".  I also have experienced traveling in more than 30 countries so far and treated like royalty and what that is like with not many years in between.  I have been a divorce statistic.  

With all the great things and fantastic blessings that I have been given, trained, observed and experienced or achieved over the decades and the "low life" as well, I count them all as dung in comparison to learning about God and how great He is and what He is doing in and through me and others and what He offers mankind.

Looking up at the sky at night and the stars, I think how small and nothing I am without God and what He is doing for and with me.  I have learned I am nothing without God.  He gives and He takes as He chooses.  The more I learn to trust in Him and obey Him and His rules and regulations, the more I'm blessed.  The more I believe I'm molded and shaped in His image and character of giving, sharing and loving.  Without God in the picture, to me, the physical achievements and "things" are worthless.

Looking back, I can thank my physical father who trained us kids at a very young age to look beyond our own efforts and to see where it all comes from.  To see the cause and effect.  Good and bad.  To give God the credit where ALL the credit is due and take personal responsibility as necessary.  In that perspective, I count myself as nothing in His sight especially next to all the good He has done for me.

Don't want to offend

I don't believe it is my place to proselytize but believe one needs to understand where I am coming from and what motivates me.  To some, this may offend and I do not want to offend anyone.  Therefore, I do not talk about God unless others do first and then only cautiously.  Again, it is not my place to proselytize nor attempt to convert anyone to my spiritual beliefs.  The Bible, which I believe is God's instruction book to mankind, teaches that in John 6:44.  Therefore, included in this site purposefully are several sources from different conflicting denominations, faiths, creeds and/or beliefs as potential references or sources as well as the general non-religious public.

I Do Tell It As It Is

If I, as a nobody, have learned some of this "stuff" on this website the hard way with scars galore (I'm still learning, growing and making changes daily by the way), what about the thousands of others out there with a lot more talent, skills and expertise than I have that don't know what they don't know and somehow has been given to me?  There is NO school nor college open to the public that teaches what is here and the need for this info is HUGE.  That is for REAL  true  LONG-LASTING peace of mind, prosperity and good abundant living.

In other words, these practical experiences have helped me understand the overall perspective of finances and living life and given me like no one else has, tremendous motivation to help others help themselves faster than it has taken me.  Sometimes, I am blunt as I see things and NOT always "politically correct".  I do consider myself realistically practical though.  Hopefully, they will learn from my experiences and learnings eliminating some of the scars I've and others have acquired in the learning process.

I Don't Know It All

I don't claim to be an expert or know it all.  IF ... someone claims they know everything about a subject, especially finances and living life abundantly, scurry away from them quickly.  Truly, no one knows everything.  Hence, there are other ways to do things just as good and if not even better than what you'll find on this website, but until shown and taught those, I suggest you consider these.  These do carry a guarantee.  

If you know some techniques that you don't find here and want to share them with me, please send them along to me.  You may find them on the site in the future with or without your recognition (assuming you'll allow me to give that to you).

Am Now Retired

Currently, I am no longer seeking any new clients nor do I have anything to sell or gain should you decide to consider any of the enclosed material anywhere on this site.  This site is FREE without anything expected in return.  (Well, maybe a simple thank you now and then would be nice.)  Everything here is offered FREE.  

Please consider AGS FINANCIAL SERVICES's website a public service web site to help others improve and maybe even achieve their/YOUR own personal potential.  Again, if I, as a nobody can do what I've done, then anybody can do whatever they want.  THERE IS HOPE FOR YOU.

But Use Me To Your Benefit

Even though the material offered here is generic in nature and therefore needs your consideration for implementation based on your own value system, it is designed to be easily tailored to you and your household.  

That is, assuming you are serious in wanting the finer things in life instead of just flapping the gums as so many these days do.  Over the decades, I've found they are not serious and only want to sound good.  This site is designed for the serious who truly do want the finer things in life.

Should you desire, feel free to write me at the address below with any questions or feedback you have.  I will respond or not respond as I feel appropriate and all NO CHARGE to you.  

If you would like a free speaker or seminar or series of seminars for your group or company on any of this material, contact me.  I may be amenable to your needs tailoring a program specifically for YOU - at no cost free to you.

Why Am I Giving This Professional Advice Away ... FREE?

Part of the answer lies in the fact that I wish that others would have taken me by the hand and helped me so I would not have to have struggled the hard way as I did.  As I say, I  KNOW  what it is like being destitute with "issues" galore.  It is not fun.  It is not peaceful.  It is not happiness.

The book Try Giving Yourself Away by David Dunn gives an additional answer.  It provides readers a challenge.  I like that challenge and this book partially answers that question of why am I doing what I do.  Other books add to the answer of why in different ways.

This is not meant as see how great I am in doing all this, but if I can do it, then you can too.  You can have my joy.  My happiness.  My peace of mind.  My outlook on living life abundantly while getting YOUR finances rock-solid within 6 months as well.

The challenge Mr. Dunn relates in his book is try doing something for 5 other people each day without expecting ANYTHING in return.  If someone pays you back for your giving of yourself, that gift does not count in the 5 you gave away.  Find another to give of yourself and make it a game while having fun doing it.  An interesting challenge, wouldn't you say?  

By the way, this challenge brings a happiness and peace that cannot be bought for any amount of money.

Look at what the Mayor of Jerusalem has done by giving.

Another part of the answer lies in the fact I enjoy helping people without ANY strings attached.  What is TRULY in THEIR best interests?  This is my way of doing that.

Another reason is what the good book says, "It is more blessed to give than receive."  So I am blessed in other ways, many of which are non-material in nature.  I believe I'm blessed partly in giving this all away free expecting nothing in return.

In other words, I AM retired.  This now is all for fun - what I have and continue to enjoy doing - helping people help themselves.

By the way, there really are two types of people - those that give and those that get.  One has a deep-seated need to give and obviously, the other has a deep-seated need of getting ... FOR THEMSELF.  I'm letting you know which type I am ... and ... truly enjoy, especially because I don't have to.

In other words, HOW MAY I HELP YOU?

There are NO guarantees in life except death.  That no guarantee includes no promises should you decide to do anything offered, suggested or recommended anywhere in this site.  I can teach, but I can't guarantee you'll follow directions or attempt to with your heart vs. your mouth only.

However, there have been too many blatant past successes with former clients and others to prove the suggestions on this site to be MORE than valid.

May I suggest AND toss you a challenge, prove them (what you find within) by doing them.  Then, join those with joy and happiness galore.  Prove me by doing.

What do you have to loose but more of the same of what you currently have... or have had in the past (that is assuming you are like everyone else I've met or known who is NOT happy in one way or another...)?  

Look back 5 years and project forward 5 years where you'll be if you continue doing the same.  Are YOU happy?  Why not start today to change your future?
