I am destined to provide clarity, confidence, and structure in the financial lives of the families and businesses I work with. When you reference my practice, think of a messy garage – not because my practice is a mess, but a parallel exists (bear with me).
My clients are successful, they work hard their entire lives, they make good money, they spend less than they make – they have accumulated all of this financial stuff. This stuff gets piled up in their financial garage. They know they have some financial wealth: a 401k, IRA accounts, cash, life insurance, long term care insurance, trusts, estate plans, education funds, etc. This stuff is clutter. How do you get your arms around it? Heaven forbid something happens to you and you don’t wake up tomorrow. Should your loved ones have to walk out to this mess?
I pull up my sleeves, determine if there’s a good fit, and I get everything put together. I pull everything out onto the driveway. We put up all of your hooks, all of your shelves, and we put everything into bins. Think about what happens when you clear a messy area, maybe a junk drawer or your desk. A space in your brain is cleared, and you can think more creatively and more clearly about your financial future – it’s the most amazing thing
When you get your plan together, and your garage is organized, what happens? 3 months go by, 6 months go by. All of a sudden you’re stepping over stuff to get back into the house. Tools don’t go back where they belong; strollers become tricycles become bicycles become cars. Eventually those cars drive off to college. Life changes and the contents of your garage changes – you need to stay on top of it.
As your advisor (and this is important), I PROactively reach out to help you tidy up and get your garage organized in order to keep you feeling that moment of clarity, confidence, and structure.
