No matter how close—or how far—you are from retirement, having a solid plan in place is critical for your financial future. And while retirement may seem far away, it’s always closer than we think. Time flies and families grow. Things change, and it’s my job to help my clients prepare regardless of what life may bring.”

Emergency Fund: The Foundation of Your Plan
Often, I speak with clients who have built up some extra cash in their savings account and instead of earning 0.01%, they prudently want to invest the money and get it “working” for them. As thrilled as I always am to hear this, I must ask a question first: “How much do you spend on a monthly basis?” This seemingly off topic question tends to throw them for a loop, but having a healthy supply of cash on hand is extremely important no matter your age.
