How Northwestern Mutual helps you live the life you want.

When people feel better about their money, good things happen—they become more confident and feel more secure. For more than 160 years, Northwestern Mutual has helped people achieve the financial flexibility they need to live more and worry less.

Being a mutual company means Northwestern Mutual reports to its clients, not Wall Street. They don't believe in chasing fads or taking undue risk for short-term gains. Instead, they take a long-term approach—both in the way we help people plan to reach their goals, and in the way they do business. This has served their clients (and mine) well through all kinds of economic ups and downs, including wars, recessions, even the recent pandemic.

It's why I'm happy to be part of a company that's in it for the long-haul and prioritizes clients over profit.

Junior Achievement

Jake has been a volunteer facilitator of Junior Achievement lessons in Grand Rapids area classrooms since 2019. He has enjoyed spending time with Northview Public Schools 4th graders while teaching them J.A. curriculum principals of financial literacy, work and career readiness, and entrepreneurship. He feels fortunate that Junior Achievement was consistently part of his education in his early years, and sees volunteering through Junior Achievement as a great opportunity to give back and make a positive difference for students in our community! "Junior Achievement’s mission is to inspire and prepare young people to succeed. In the process, these volunteers serve as role models helping to positively impact young people’s perceptions about the importance of education..." -jausa.ja.org
