Financial Planning should be client centered, and focused on each individual’s needs and goals.

Custom Plan

Clients will be able to gain a deeper understanding of their current financial status, set and analyze goals, develop a plan that is designed towards meeting these goals, and easily follow the plan so that goals can be pursued.

Respect

The financial planning process involves establishing a working, trusting, and respectful relationship between the client and planner.

Thanks to my friend Alissa's recommendation, I recently listened to the audiobook, The Psychology of Money—and wow, it was a straightforward and engaging book about finance that I think everyone could benefit from reading! One key takeaway that really hit home was this: It’s not just about making money; it’s about keeping it.We often focus on how to grow our wealth, but how often do we think about preserving it? Achieving financial success isn’t just about taking risks—it’s about balancing that risk-taking with humility, caution, and a bit of frugality.Here’s something to ponder: Your hard-earned money can disappear in an instant if you’re not careful. Some of our financial success can be attributed to luck, but what happens when luck runs out? That’s where the concept of survival comes in. It’s about being financially unbreakable—allowing the magic of compounding to work its wonders over time.💡 Actionable Advice: Start by developing a well-defined financial plan that includes a contingency for things not going as planned. Balance your optimism with caution, and aim for realistic optimism. This approach can help you pursue long-term goals without losing sight of the importance of survival.Remember, the goal isn’t just to grow your wealth—it’s to make sure it lasts. 💪 ...

Investing in the stock market can feel like stepping into a new world, but understanding the types of stocks out there can give you a solid foundation. Here’s a quick rundown:1. Blue Chip Stocks: Think of these as the giants in the playground—large, stable, and well-established companies like Coca-Cola, IBM, and Apple. These stocks are reliable, often paying dividends, and can be a cornerstone in your portfolio.2. Defensive Stocks: These are your go-to during economic downturns. Companies in sectors like consumer staples, healthcare, and utilities tend to be less volatile. Examples include Procter & Gamble and Walmart. They may not offer high returns, but they provide stability.3. Cyclical Stocks: These ride the waves of economic changes. Companies like Marriott, Tesla, and Royal Caribbean can see significant ups and downs based on economic conditions. If you’re prepared for the fluctuations, these stocks can offer growth opportunities.4. IPO Stocks: Newly listed companies on the stock exchange. While these stocks, like many in the tech sector, can be exciting, they come with uncertainty due to the lack of a track record. Proceed with caution!5. Commodity Stocks: Companies that deal in essential goods like oil, wheat, or cattle. Investing in commodity stocks means you’re betting on the performance of these basic goods. Think oil refineries, wheat producers, or meat-processing companies.📊 Actionable Tip: Diversify your portfolio with a mix of these stocks based on your financial goals and risk tolerance. By doing so, you can build a portfolio that withstands market fluctuations while providing growth potential.Need help on which stocks to include in your portfolio?

It’s College Savings Month, and if you’re a parent or grandparent, you might be wondering about the best ways to save for a child’s future education. Let’s break down a few of the most popular options:1. 529 Plans – The State-Sponsored Solution:529 Plans are a great way to save for college with some tax advantages. These state-sponsored accounts allow you to save for a beneficiary (like your child or grandchild) and use the funds for qualified education expenses. The best part? The earnings in the account grow tax-free and withdrawals for qualified education expenses are also tax-free.2. Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) – Flexibility Beyond College:An ESA, or Coverdell account, is another tax-advantaged savings plan. While similar to a 529, ESAs offer more flexibility, as the funds can be used for elementary and secondary education expenses in addition to college. It’s a great option if you’re thinking ahead to private school tuition or other education-related costs.3. Custodial Accounts (UGMA/UTMA) – Saving with Flexibility:Custodial accounts are a bit different—they’re not just for education. These accounts are opened by parents for their children, and the money is transferred to the child when they reach adulthood (age 18-21, depending on your state). While they don’t offer the same tax advantages as a 529 or ESA, custodial accounts allow for more flexibility in how the funds are eventually used, which can be a plus depending on your goals.Each of these options has its own set of benefits, and the right choice depends on your family’s specific needs and goals. If you’re unsure which plan is best for you, let’s chat. ... See MoreSee Less
