Tim Parnell is the founder of Legacy Wealth Nation, a firm dedicated to helping individuals and families gain clarity, confidence, and control over their financial future. He started the company after witnessing too many people do “all the right things,” saving faithfully, contributing to retirement accounts, and trusting the system, yet still feeling uncertain, exposed, and confused about their financial future. He noticed that the advice people were receiving was often fragmented, market-dependent, or focused more on products rather than people.
With more than a decade in financial services, Tim brings extensive experience in helping clients navigate retirement income strategy, risk management, and wealth preservation. He has worked with individuals, families, and business owners to provide education-driven guidance on both the accumulation and distribution phases of retirement. He works across tax-advantaged planning, income-focused solutions, real estate investment, physical precious metals, and digital assets such as cryptocurrency.
Throughout his career, Tim has emphasized an education-first approach, aiming to ensure clients understand why strategies are used, not just what is recommended. He thrives on educating clients and helping them experience the powerful moment when the fog lifts and possibilities become clear. He has led workshops, seminars, and private educational sessions designed to simplify complex financial topics, reduce unnecessary exposure to market volatility, and support long-term income, protection, and legacy planning. His approach is personal, situational, and tailored to each client’s stage of life, responsibilities, goals, and concerns.
Tim measures success not by short-term performance, but by whether clients feel informed, prepared, and confident that their plan supports their family, future, and legacy. For individuals near retirement, he focuses on protecting retirement income and accumulated wealth, implementing strategies for wealth preservation, legacy planning, asset protection, and tax deferral. For business owners, he develops strategies to reinvest dollars that would otherwise be lost to taxes back into their business, employees, and family while strengthening long-term personal and generational planning. For younger professionals and families, he emphasizes financial literacy, proper retirement planning beyond a 401(k), and legacy planning through insurance and other creative strategies.
Originally from the oil fields of Midland, Texas, he spent the majority of his adult life in the Fort Worth area. He earned a bachelor’s degree in business communication from Austin College in Sherman, Texas, and considers his “Post-Grad Education” to be the hands-on experience and entrepreneurship he’s pursued since age 26.
Tim has been a guest on podcasts including “One America News” and “Nickels and Dimes.” He formerly ran a YouTube channel, “Cross Country Living,” documenting his family’s full-time RV lifestyle. He is married to his college sweetheart of 20 years and is the father of two children, 13 and 8, who are homeschooled with financial literacy as a key part of their learning. Their family also includes their hound dog, Charlie.
