At times it seems like the financial world is detached from reality.
But whether we like it or not, money dictates our entire life.
Fine Answers aims to bridge that gap by discussing money tips
and tricks, best practices for success and the psychology behind it all.
The answers won’t be great…but they’ll be fine.

“You can start thinking about it [SECURE 2.0] and maybe start talking to your advisor about what the implications might mean for you and setting up some contingent plans… What separates us from some other advisors is we are a CPA and a wealth management firm.

“When you have a financial plan, you can look at how much money you have and what you actually want. Own the things that might give you some value, either financially or things that make you feel good. And the rest of it, maybe you share!

Being able to have an independent third party to help you through your shared financial plan is a big help to some people.” (more…)

We think it’s very important to have these changes on your radar. Start thinking about how you’ll adapt your financial plan accordingly.”

That is basically financial freedom or retirement, so to speak. As we redefine what retirement is on a global level, people might actually enjoy continuing to work if they can reframe it as, ‘this is a part of my retirement.’” (more…)

Listen Now“We’ve got to remember that although trends change and the epicenter of where the most people are in the world keeps shifting, that doesn’t necessarily affect what we do from a financial standpoint for our clients.”
