WHAT WE OFFER
At Wealth Habits, things are done differently.
Our firm stands apart from banks, insurance agencies, or giant wealth management firms. We don't have any proprietary products that can cloud our recommendations. As fiduciaries, we are obligated by law to prioritize your best interests, ensuring transparency, fairness, and accountability in all our interactions.
What we offer is professional advice:
Investment Management
Our investment portfolios are carefully designed to help investors reduce risk, improve returns, and create a reliable income stream.
Retirement Planning
We help you develop a specific asset allocation and distribution strategy to help ensure your assets live as long as you do. In other words, we help turn your nest egg into a reliable income stream.
Stock Option Planning
We provide expert advice and advanced tax planning assistance to reduce your tax burden and avoid surprise tax bills.
Retirement Income Solutions
You’ve saved for retirement for years. Now that retirement is approaching, we can help you turn your retirement savings into retirement income.
Education Planning
If paying for education – yours, a child’s, or a loved one’s – is among your financial goals, we can help you evaluate your options and make informed decisions about educational expenses.
Estate Planning And Trusts
We collaborate with a team of independent attorneys who draft custom trust and estate planning documents to help ensure your wishes are fully integrated with your financial plan.
Insurance Optimization
It takes time and effort to build wealth, but it is easy to lose it. Even the most carefully laid financial plans can be shattered by accidents, lawsuits, medical crises, and other unexpected events. Life, property, and long-term care insurance are essential. Unfortunately, many people set up insurance policies early in life and then fail to revisit them as their personal situations and needs change.
Social Security Optimization
We help you determine the best time to collect Social Security and optimize your Social Security claiming strategy.
WHY US
We see the need for a paradigm shift in the financial world. Unlike larger financial firms, our focus is not diluted by managing thousands of advisors or meeting corporate targets. We don't have to answer to corporate or shareholder demands.
Our focus is centered exclusively on our clients. Our small-scale approach allows us to cater to each client's unique needs, understanding their financial goals and working diligently to help them achieve these. Our only boss is you, our client.
Our independent status allows us to provide unbiased advice that is solely based on your financial needs, goals, and risk tolerance.
We believe this dedicated, client-centric approach is the future of wealth management, where every decision made is in the best interest of the client. With us, it's always about you.
WHAT IS OUR ADVANTAGE?
As a small fiduciary financial planning firm, we're dedicated to addressing these issues by providing personalized, conflict-free advice tailored to each client:
Personalized Attention: They can give clients the personal attention that larger firms often can't. They typically have fewer clients, which means they can devote more time to each one.
Conflict-free Advice: As fiduciaries, they are obligated to put their clients' interests first. This means they provide advice that is in the best interest of the client, not what will earn them the highest commission.
Comprehensive Planning: They often provide holistic financial planning, considering all aspects of a client's financial life, not just investments.
Accessibility: They tend to be more accessible to a wide range of clients, not just those with high net worth, offering services to people who might otherwise be overlooked by large firms.
Transparency: Many small fiduciary planners operate on a fee-only basis, meaning they don't earn commissions from selling financial products. This structure can be more transparent and may reduce potential conflicts of interest.
