⏳💰🗺️ You're Earning Decently... But Where's the Plan? If you're like most people I talk to in Eastern Iowa, you've been working hard, saving when you can, and trying to make the "right" financial moves. But let me ask: 👉 Do you actually know if you're on the track for retirement? 👉 Are you confident your savings are working hard enough? 👉 Do you and your partner feel financially aligned - or are you winging it month to month? 👉 Is your retirement savings optimized for tax efficient distributions? 👉 Will your financial position be a blessing or burden for the next generation? 👉 Are you confident that you can maintain your lifestyle if something tragic happens? At some point - whether you're in your 30s, 40s or 50s - it hits you: "We've done ok... but we've never had a real plan." I get it - life gets busy and things get put off. The best time to prepare is when you CAN. Not when you HAVE to. That's where I come in. Let's connect and have a discussion so that I can learn about your priorities and be your financial GPS to help you get to where you want to go.
