Next Adventure Financial LLC

I’m Cody Lachner, a financial planner and outdoor enthusiast who loves helping individuals live more intentional lives. Not everyone strives for the traditional retirement where you work a 9-5 until 65, but, much of the financial services industry is built around this old goal. There’s been a lack of advice & guidance for folks who want to do things their own way. Maybe you aim to take a mid-career sabbatical, or live in an RV travelling 6+ months per year, or retire early to spend more time outdoors, or simply reduce the amount of time you spend worrying about money… Whatever your goal, I’m here to serve as your financial guide to help you prepare and navigate your way to & through your goals. As your financial guide, I also help reduce your time spent on financial decisions so you have more time to devote towards the things you love. I use technology to work with individuals virtually, throughout the country. As long as you have internet, we can work together to plan for your dream life! Personally: My wife and I love the outdoors! We spend our time hiking, camping/backpacking, mountain biking, packrafting, and literally anything else outdoors. Our favorite place in the world is Alaska. We find ourselves going back again and again. My favorite trip was hiking the Stampede Trail in 2021 (this trail was made famous by the book & movie – Into the Wild).
