I enjoy teaching people about “The Money Game”. It’s fun to help people make better decisions about money. People do want help understanding how the game is played.
I believe that a husband and wife run their household like a business. Hopefully they work in the black, and make a profit! One of them is the President and the other is the Chairman of the Board. Together they have a mission statement for their family and their values. We want to be part of their Board of Directors, along with their other professional advisors, to help them get where they want to go in life. Life isn’t just a foot race, it’s a relay race, and each generation passes the baton to the next generation. Once you have children, you want to protect them and provide for them."
I use an abundance of resources to help people. In our initial meeting, the client can share information about the things they’re doing now, or where their concerns are. I ask a lot of questions to see what their family dynamics are and how I can be of help. We have many tools to help people.
Answering the financial questions can be the easy part of the equation. Helping clients address their own emotional issues attached to money is the other part. I know how to help couples communicate about money and meet these difficult issues.
Single people may have a greater challenge, because they need someone with whom to discuss their options. In addition, they need to have their financial lives organized in case of a tragedy. Come talk with us if you’re in the area. Our firm is a lot of fun to work with.
