Lifestyle Financial Planning is the comprehensive process of organizing, evaluating & utilizing your financial resources to help you define and achieve your chosen lifestyle. Your plan consists of up to ten parts:
Goal Setting & Values Clarification
Goals and values tend to remain just ideas unless written down in a clear and concise fashion.
We will use a series of exercises based on my corporate experience and specialized
professional training to accomplish this. I will help you identify, understand and track what
matters most to you.
Cash Flow Analysis
Evaluates your use of income in the areas of debt reduction, budget planning and establishing
savings.
Personal Net-Worth Analysis
Evaluates your balance sheet (assets and liabilities). Many people are surprised by their
Net Worth because they've never seen it in black and white.
Employee Benefit Utilization Review
A review of the benefits provided by your employer to identify opportunities to expand your usage of these cost effective resources.
Insurance Needs Analysis
Most clients have been oversold insurance by insurance agents. The most important concern is to make sure you have the appropriate types of insurance and coverages to protect your family's future, your assets and your income. There is nothing worse than to expose these precious aspects of your life to unintentional or unexpected risk.
Income Tax Evaluation
A thorough examination of your current tax scenario helping you minimizing your tax liability.
I also help identify and create opportunities to redirect any cash flow savings into your
retirement accounts. Your accountant will participate in reviewing these recommendations
prior to implementation.
Education Planning
It's no small task to pay for a college education. I calculate the monthly savings or lump-sum
investment needed to meet your goal, as well as help you select the education plan best suited to save for a future education goal.
Retirement Planning
I help you answer the question, "How am I doing?"...and even more important, "What more
can I/we do" Evaluation of your current retirement savings, and alternative strategies to help
ensure greater financial security throughout retirement. I will assist you in building the financial resources needed to generate income for a memorable retirement.
Estate and Survivor Planning
We will review your legacy choices to allow you to leave what you want, to whom you want, when you want, while working to minimize taxes and maintain maximum control. We will make sure your health care choices and your values are respected. For clients who wish to leave a legacy that represents their values, I help create a thoughtful, flexible estate plan to reflect those values. The plan will be reviewed, and the necessary documents prepared, by appropriate legal counsel.
