We created Lifetime Financial to serve the professional households working for the greater good. Our clients are unintentional millionaires. It might be surprising to think of yourself as a millionaire, but when you add up the equity in your home, a lifetime of saving, high market returns, and inflation—it quickly adds up. Though modestly affluent households like yours don’t have the resources of the ultra-wealthy, you still have much of the same complexity and the need for regular guidance. Typically, these households hold an average of $1.5 million in liquid assets and are often underserved by the financial community. Eighty percent of high-net-worth and mega-millionaires work with financial advisors to plan and manage their finances, but only 60% of unintentional millionaires do. We provide extensive, full-service financial planning and investment management with great services and ongoing support at a reasonable price. We are independent fiduciaries and keep our fees low, well below Wall Street rates, while providing services they don’t offer. An important distinction is that we are a Fee-Only firm, which is often confused with Fee-Based which is more common in larger firms. In contrast to Fee-Only, Fee-Based advisors receive commissions on products they sell you. We are only paid by you. Our typical clients are nonprofit professionals and those working for the greater good who want expert financial help with retirement, college planning, investing, tax planning, and more. Together we will connect the dots between your financial realities and the life you long to live.
