Learn More About Digital VaultWHAT ARE YOUR GOALS?
Some people go through life knowing exactly what they want and have a clear plan for how they are going to make it happen.
In my experience, this is the exception rather than the rule.
Much more common is a vague sense that "l want my family to be OK" or "l want to be sure I don't run out of money." These are valid sentiments and form a viable framework for an investment plan, but they are not defined goals.
It is crucial to identify and clearly articulate specific goals, so we can mitigate your investment risk. By defining specific goals, we can invest for the desired return without incurring undue risk.

It is crucial to identify and clearly articulate specific goals, so we can mitigate your investment risk. By defining specific goals, we can invest for the desired return without incurring undue risk.
So what it a specific goal? Here are a few:
- Pay for college for my two children or four grandchildren. What will that cost in the appropriate timeframe?
- Retire from my "real" career at age 60, so I can transition to a less stressful or fun career. How much wealth will be required?
- Have enough money for a major international trip twice a year. How much should we allocate?
- Purchase and maintain a second home. What will that cost up front and on an annual basis?
- Leave a multi-generational legacy for my family. Do you have an estate plan?
- Give a meaningful gift to a charity that means a great deal to me. What do you hope to accomplish? In each case, we can estimate a required dollar figure and a proposed timeframe. When that is established, we can look at variations and their impacts.
