The MoneyEdge
A Harvard Business School study (source: SmartMoney 2001) that tracked American's who worked for 40 years from age 25 to 65, statistically shows where they will end up financially when they turn 65...
- 54% will end up dependent
- 36% still need to work
- 5% didn't make it, they were deceased
- 4% were financially OK (with at least $1 million in assets)
- 1% were wealthy (with at least $5 million in assets)
An interesting commonality was found with the 5% who ended up financially OK or Wealthy: they all had 3 things that the other 95% didn't have. So....why do 95% of the American population fail when it comes to their finances?
- No financial education (financially illiterate)
- No written financial game plan
- No access to a financial coach
Our Value Proposition

We focus on a consultative approach to financial planning rather than the industry transactional sales approach. Our approach is Needs-based planning, which provides clients the capability to align their money and life with their values and goals.
Needs-based planning is a long-term relationship of mutual respect where the result is a happier and more loyal client and a more prosperous and emotionally gratifying business for the financial professional. We have found this philosophy is not only the most ethical and client-centered method for building high-trust client relationships, but also spurs our clients to follow through with achieving their goals.
