Financial Life Management
Live the life you CRAve.
We believe a successful retirement is not just about making sure you don’t run out of money – it’s about living your ideal life. Over the years, we’ve seen far too many people die rich, because they never felt comfortable spending their own money to do the things they really wanted to do at the fear of not having enough. That’s why we help you think and do things differently with our elite Financial LifeManagement service. Don’t just die rich, live richly…and live the life you CRAve.

Values beyond investing.
How you feel about money impacts every financial decision you make. Our HonestConversations® exercise helps us all understand what matters most to you at this point in your life and how you are living toward those ideals. It also gives you the opportunity to get on the same page with your loved ones about your values, which will serve as your guiding compass in your Financial Life Management.
- Discover what’s important to you.
- Identify and clarify your intentions, motivations, and goals.
- Use scoring to rank, track and update progress.
Know your number.
Financial Control Scorecard® helps answer the question with a single number, “Where do I stand financially today?” This provides valuable insight about whether your current savings and investments align with your spending and goals, so that your advisor can evaluate if a course correction is necessary.
- See if you are on track to meeting your financial goals.
- View your success score, so you know where you stand today.
- Review regularly with your advisor and make adjustments as appropriate.
Organize your priorities.
Your advisor creates your Priority Action List from your HonestConversations® exercise and Financial Control Scorecard® results. Your Priority Action List identifies the parts of your finances that can benefit from additional attention based on level of importance or urgency.
- Determine which items are optimal, need review or immediate attention.
- Identify and track tasks associated with each priority.
- Measure and control your financial progress beyond merely investing
