The Root Elements
When people choose this module they are typically looking to enhance their cash flow, optimize their cash flow or stabilize their cash flow.
As the lifeblood of your planning journey it is important to ensure that your cash flow is meeting your needs. We help you determine where your money goes in relation to your lifestyle, objectives, and obligations, and compare this to others like you (benchmarks relative to your demographic). If there are underlying problems we will identify them and create a plan to overcome them.
Changes in your life will also impact your cash flow (positively or negatively). Starting or ending relationships, babies, elderly parents, dependent kids, promotions at work, losing your job, becoming disabled or seriously ill, buying a home, starting a business, are all just a few examples of changes that can have serious impacts to your cash flow.
We help set up guardrails to ensure your cash flow is protected and that you are prepared and able to adjust to the demands on your cash flow today and down the road. Unexpected financial challenges are bound to happen in the future and these guardrails can help you be prepared.
There are also many little ways where people may be losing money unknowingly. We will review ways where you may be able to plug these invisible ‘slow leaks’ on your cash flow.
Finally, we will help you sort through your financial priorities and ensure what you are doing with your money is in line with those priorities.
Spending money you don’t have results in the need to borrow. The other reason people choose this module is because they feel they need help managing their debt. We understand that acquiring debt is a tool necessary for growth but no one likes to pay interest on money they’ve already spent.
Our program helps ensure your debt is properly designed and relevant to your big-picture objectives. Then we work with you to create a plan for successfully managing these obligations, finding ways to consolidate or improve the conditions of your debt, or use debt to enhance your other planning objectives. The first step is to get organized.
Having a plan will help you get out of debt and stay out of debt. Saving money on interest, penalties, fees and other expenses can go along way to relieving anxiety you may be feeling about money.
Once we’ve reviewed your overall debts we compare your situation to others like you and look for anything out of the ordinary.
There is also ‘good debt’ and ‘bad debt’. If there are opportunities to turn bad debt into good debt we will work with you to make this happen.
Ultimately we’re not looking to dramatically change your lifestyle but find it’s often the little things that can make the biggest difference.
