Pinkston Wealth, LLC

I live in the Ozarks with my wife Heather and I work with Latter-day Saint families. I started Pinkston Wealth to be the practice I would have wanted to hire. I have built retirement plans for hundreds of families, and the lesson that stuck with me is that no two of them are truly the same. The financial industry does not plan that way. It hands two couples with the same account balance the same plan, the same models, the same allocations, the same glossy reports, as if the number on the statement were the whole story. It never is. A financial report is not a plan. Yours should be built around your life, not printed from a template with your name typed on the cover. So I work the opposite way. Before I look at a single account, I want to know what you are actually retiring toward. I have sat with couples who have plenty and are quietly terrified to spend a dollar of it, and couples with less who sleep fine because they know exactly what their money is for. The number on the statement told me almost nothing about which was which. That is the part the industry skips, and it is the part I start with. It is also why I specialize instead of trying to serve everyone. The clearest example is a season most advisors have never planned for: a couple leaving on a full-time senior mission. That one decision quietly touches everything, what the mission costs, what happens to the house and the income and the portfolio while you are gone, how to hand off eighteen months of your financial life and actually be present where you are serving. I went looking for someone who had mapped this out and could not find them, so I became that person. I am not going anywhere, and neither is this practice. I stay small on purpose, because I would rather know a hundred families well than manage a thousand I never really meet. These are relationships I expect to keep for decades, through retirement and the seasons of change that come with a life well lived. If that is the kind of advisor you have been hoping to find, I would be glad to talk.
