Life Changes

Life changes are inevitable. We guide you through them

Life happens. And because life is a rollercoaster, it brings ups and downs that usually need the help of savvy financial advisors. It could be the birth of a child, a big promotion, starting a new business, or coming into a sizable inheritance. On the other hand, you could be laid off, get an illness that prevents you from working, or dealing with the passing of a family member.

Whatever happens, we're here for you. And like so many aspects of your life, the sooner you're prepared, the better the outcome will be. So, if you anticipate a life change coming soon, or just want to chat with someone about your future and your finances, get in touch today.

Frequently asked questions.

How do I manage finances in a marriage?

Generally, it’s easiest to split bills 50/50 if both spouses’ incomes are similar, but ensuring that both of you are on the same page when it comes to discretionary spending is crucial. Implementing a financial plan can alleviate some of the stress that comes with sharing finances.

How do I rollover my 401k into an IRA without a penalty?

Rollovers with DWAM are easy! First, you’ll need to open an IRA if you don’t already have one. Next, contact your plan’s recordkeeper and request a direct-rollover distribution. The check will be made payable to your new custodian (we use Schwab) and sent to us. We then deposit your funds and work with you on an investment strategy that best suits you.

How much money do I need to retire?

This is a common question, but one that is hard to answer without knowing your individual circumstances. Some questions to get started are: how do you want to spend your retirement? Do you want to travel? Do you want to leave any money for your children/grandchildren? Please give one of our advisors a call for more information.

What’s the smartest thing to do with an inheritance?

That depends on your individual situation. Do you have any kids? Outstanding debts? Give us a call. We’re more than happy to discuss the best way to navigate receiving an inheritance.
