Welcome! I’m Brett, and I’m glad you’re here. I’m a proud born-and-raised Buffalonian passionate about helping others make the most of their money and their lives as they navigate the transition into retirement. In 2019, I founded Eudaimonia Wealth, a fee-only financial planning firm in Buffalo, NY, dedicated to helping local families retire on their terms by providing independent, objective advice. At Eudaimonia Wealth, we know we can’t be all things to all people, and we don’t pretend to be. We specialize in helping people at or near retirement who need help putting the pieces together. We partner with families to help them generate income from their savings, optimize their investments, and create a tax-efficient distribution plan that supports their needs. Eudaimonia (pronounced you-day-mo-nia) is a term from Greek philosophy that describes an ultimate state achievable by living a life of meaning, purpose, and fulfillment. It was considered a state of “peak performance in the art of living,” and it represents, at its core, what I believe real financial planning is all about.

I am so glad you are here! My name is Jeff Arber, the founder of Triple Play Planning. I am a lifelong Western New Yorker with a knack for helping people organize and plan out their complex financial life. Money was always important to me. While I can’t quite pinpoint why, I knew that when I grew up, I didn’t want money (or lack thereof) to be a problem. About 15 years ago, I decided to investigate a career switch to financial services. Those years of experience through the various channels of financial advisement has led me to this point. I am very excited to introduce you to the type of firm I have always wanted to create. What I hear most often from clients I work with is that they are happy they have someone to help guide them to through the gradually increasing complexity of their financial lives. Several of us set up our 401k’s one time and forget about it. Set up a 529 plan when the kids were born, but haven’t looked at it since? Should I consider a Roth contribution over a 529 plan? What are the tax consequences of these decisions? Restricted stock options, what are those? These are all the things we talk over and help you navigate. Of all the things in my life, my family is the most important. I am the proud husband of an awesome wife, Brooke, and the proud Dad of Nolan and Everett. Brooke and I came from different money philosophies. We have worked hard to find a common ground and have a system that works for us both. Nolan is headed to college soon, and Everett will be there soon enough as well. If any of these things resonate with you, let’s chat about it. I am always happy to pass on my life experiences and learnings to help you get on track.
