Your Review Call
Once you’ve filled out your profile, you’ll have to schedule a call to review your financial life with us. We want to be sure that we know what your financial life, budget, goals, and obstacles all look like before we start building your financial plan.
Expect questions like:
- When do you want to retire?
- What short-term financial goals do you have?
- Do you intend any changes in family size, where you live, or how you live in the near future?
- Do you think getting laid off is a real risk you should be concerned with?
Also, expect to go through a questionnaire with us so we know what portfolio makes sense not just given your goals but considering how much risk you and your family are comfortable with.
Your Financial Plan Delivery Call
Once we know we have all the facts, we’ll review your financial plan together.
Typically, as a result, you’ll know:
- When you likely can retire and what you need to do to make that date earlier.
- The biggest problems in your financial life that need to be fixed within the next 6-12 months.
- Goals for things like budgeting, improvements to insurance, remedying problems with your estate plan, etc.
