Give a Gift That Lasts: A Solid Financial Plan

As we approach the holiday season, I am reminded of Christmas gatherings and the exchange of gifts between family and friends. While we all enjoy receiving gifts, it is the joy I get from giving that is most fulfilling. It’s especially so when the gift is something that has a lasting impact for the recipient. It might sound strange, but that’s how I’ve come to view financial planning. When done effectively, it can have a positive impact on a family today, as well as transform the lives of generations to come. What a legacy!

A Financial Guide to Divorce

It is critical to prepare for divorce by making sure you have the resources in place to navigate the process successfully. It begins with establishing a strong support network, one that provides you with the emotional support necessary to accept your new reality and navigate the ups and downs of the divorce process. For legal support, we recommend you engage a quality divorce attorney, one who is not only skilled in divorce, but a good communicator focused on your best interest. We also believe it makes sense to engage a financial advisor with expertise in divorce. He or she can provide invaluable technical support as you pursue an equitable settlement and plan for financial security in the future.
