About Us
Built Around Real Retirement and Protection Conversations
Many people searching for retirement guidance are not just looking for products or account information—they are trying to figure out who they can actually trust with decisions that affect their future. Game Plan Financial Solutions was built around the belief that retirement planning should feel understandable, personal, and grounded in real-world experience rather than sales pressure or generic advice. Founder Ozzie Rodriguez grew up in Chicago, served as a Chicago police officer, and later spent more than 14 years licensed in life insurance and annuities while helping individuals, families, and public-service professionals navigate retirement-income decisions. That background continues to shape the firm’s approach today by focusing on clear education, practical conversations, and guidance designed to help clients feel more informed and less overwhelmed.
Our mission is to help people make retirement and protection decisions with more clarity, confidence, and real understanding—especially during moments that feel uncertain or emotionally important.
What You Can Expect From Every Conversation
Clarity First
Retirement and insurance conversations should never leave you more confused than when you started. The focus is on breaking complex ideas into practical explanations that help you understand what your choices actually mean.
Real-World Perspective
Advice feels more meaningful when it comes from someone who has personally experienced the realities behind protection planning and retirement preparation. Clients benefit from guidance shaped by both licensed industry experience and real-life financial challenges.
Local Relationships
People often want to work with someone who understands the communities, careers, and financial concerns common across Chicago and the northwest suburbs. Local roots and long-standing relationships help conversations feel more personal and relevant to everyday life here.
Educational Conversations
Many clients come in feeling overwhelmed by retirement accounts, annuities, life insurance options, or rollover decisions. Educational walkthroughs and visual explanations help create a calmer, more manageable experience.
Consistency and Accessibility
Knowing there is a real office, local phone number, and direct contact person makes retirement planning feel less intimidating. Clients can connect by phone, email, online form, or appointment-only meetings at the Schaumburg office.
Ozzie Rodriguez
My focus is on Retirement Income planning, using life insurance and annuity products to help clients safeguard and protect their saving & investments. My strategy is like building a house floor by floor, but starting with the foundation to make sure the family is protected.
A Career Path Shaped by Public-Service Experience
Growing up in Chicago and serving as a Chicago police officer created firsthand understanding of the pressures public-service professionals often carry into retirement planning. Many police officers, firefighters, teachers, and city employees face complicated decisions involving pensions, deferred compensation plans, and retirement-income timing that generic financial conversations rarely address clearly. After transitioning into the insurance and retirement-planning field, Ozzie Rodriguez spent more than 14 years helping clients understand life insurance, fixed annuities, indexed universal life strategies, and rollover options with a stronger focus on education and practical guidance. Today, Game Plan Financial Solutions continues serving clients throughout Chicago, Schaumburg, Arlington Heights, and Des Plaines with a commitment to making retirement conversations feel more approachable and easier to navigate.
A major turning point in shaping the firm’s philosophy came after personally navigating a life-insurance claim following the loss of his wife. That experience reinforced how important clear communication, realistic preparation, and dependable protection planning can become during difficult moments in life.
Trusted Across Chicago for Retirement Guidance
Game Plan Financial Solutions works with individuals and families throughout Chicago and nearby suburbs who want retirement conversations that feel personal, understandable, and grounded in real experience. From the Schaumburg office to ongoing relationships across public-service networks and local communities, the firm continues building trust through education-focused support and long-term client relationships. Many clients first connect because they are looking for someone who understands deferred compensation plans, retirement-income concerns, or life insurance decisions without overwhelming financial jargon. Others simply want to know there is a real local advisor behind the conversation—someone available by phone, email, or appointment when questions come up.
