We all are very familiar with the ubiquitous childhood query: "Are we there yet?"
As parents, we explain to our children that the journey to our desired destination requires patience. We somehow forget this when we think about our financial future. We want to be there now.
Financial Peace of Mind
The core of our work with clients is centered around creating a framework for financial peace of mind . Money is a facilitator, not a master. Financial peace doesn’t mean just piling up money or things that money can buy. Instead, financial peace means living life as you want; creating life experiences; enjoying relationships; and for many individuals, leaving a legacy.
With few exceptions, prospective clients that contact us aren’t “there” yet. We help them navigate a course, a path that will move them in the direction of financial peace of mind. Patience and willingness to change are key to the success of this exercise.
Stay the Course
Personal economics is really simple. Every choice that you make either pushes you toward your destination or diverts you to another place. Obviously, the more diversions, the more stops that you make along the way, the longer it will take to get “there.” We help guide clients toward choices that will keep them on the path to their destination.
