Debt is tricky. On one hand, debt can be a tool you deploy to accelerate financial growth; just like a financial institution does, we can utilize debt to help us get multiple turns on a single dollar. On the other hand, for many it can be (and feel) like a literal mountain standing in the way of your path to financial success. In my career, I’ve engaged with many clients specifically to craft a battle plan for their debt. Now, the debt can exist for any variety of (good o

When building your wealth management plan, much of the focus is on how to generate wealth, how to ensure you have enough savings for retirement, and how to optimize your returns and strategies in anticipation of your future needs. With such a focus on increasing your pool of funds it can be easy to overlook risks everyday life can present to your finances.

Let's set the scene: We’re going to look at two hypothetical pre-retirees at different ages - a 35 year old and a 50 year old. We’re going to lean again here on research from Wade Pfau, Ph.D.,

To those of you still tuning in at this point - congratulations! Alas, you have confirmed your status as nerds, but on the bright side you're set up for much more success in retirement compared with your sitcom-watching, Cheeto-eating peers. If you missed the first article, catch up here.

Welcome to a brief three-part series where we’ll cover an integrated approach to retirement income planning. I know that's a bit vague, so hang with me for a bit. Crafting your plan for income in retirement is no simple matter. You can't just save to "your number" and then expect everything to work out just fine. Retirement income planning is an evolving science; not only do we need to consider the straight-up-math, but we also have to find a way to incorporate the hard-to-

Welcome to a new series covering financial products. So, my intention here is to do a recurring set of articles in which I cover various financial services and products. In each post, I’ll spend some time unpacking the different elements of each product and provide some examples as to what can make that particular product or service good, bad or ugly. In this first installment, I thought it might be good to cover a topic I mentioned in a recent post dealing with retirement

You’ve made it to the end of our three-part series about the biggest threats to your financial wellness. (Wanna catch up? Check our Part One and Part Two, then come back.) If you’ve noticed a theme, it’s because the biggest threats to your finances come from within. In this post we’ll discuss two of the most common failings people experience: fear and hesitation. If you let these internal feelings dictate how you live your life and use your finances, you’ll struggle to achiev
