An Example

Remote Meeting
We can review your case with you from virtually anywhere.

A client in Seattle, Washington got a $100,000 bonus as his daughter was entering college. He wanted to know how best to pay for her education in light of this new development. Using GoToMyPC, he and a colleague Joel works with in Tallahassee connected to Joel's computer over a lunch hour. They updated his financial information, putting it on the Hacker-Safe Living Balance Sheet®, and together, they devised some scenarios that would coordinate his assets and provide efficient strategies for achieving his goals.

Common Financial Myths

  • "My money only needs to keep pace with inflation."
  • "I will be in a lower income income tax bracket at retirement."
  • "My 401(k) plan creates a tax savings, which can be spent or invested."
  • "Compounding interest creates a financial miracle."
  • "I won't need life insurance when I retire."
  • "A 15 year mortgage costs less than a 30 year mortgage."
  • "Disinvesting is the same as investing."
  • "Rate of return on my assets is more important than regular savings habits."
  • "To increase protection, my cash flow will suffer."
