The Subject:
5 Myths (and More!) of Financial Planning and Wealth Management: How what you THINK you know can hurt you
There is an old Jimmy Buffet song which contains the line, “Fins to the left, fins to the right….and you’re the only bait in town.” Have you ever felt that way when it comes to the myriad of topics in the financial planning and wealth management world? This person tells me this, the internet says that, my dad told me this growing up, I heard of this person having a bad/good experience in such and such product, etc., etc., etc.
Beyond the information overload, then you have the questions of who to believe….what is their angle, what is in it for them, can I really trust the information I am receiving?
StoneBridge Advisors exists to help our clients navigate the shark infested waters of financial planning and wealth management. We believe in TRUE holistic financial planning for our individual, family, and business owner clients. We believe you can’t just look at one part of the car…..you MUST look at the purpose for the car (is it here to drive fast or haul mulch?), all the individual pieces, and how they can be interwoven together for the appropriate result.
In our short time together, you will be exposed to 5 (and more as time allows) myths within the world of financial planning. Common myths can include:
- At my death, I can leave my assets to who I want.
- I should always take Social Security as soon as possible/I should wait until the latest time possible to take Social Security.
- Everyone should invest in a Roth IRA or Roth 401(k) if possible.
- Annuities are horrible and should never be considered/Annuities are the “greatest thing since sliced bread”.
- I should always invest more conservatively as I approach and/or are in retirement.
- Financial Planning=investment management
- All permanent life insurance is bad/expensive/a rip-off. You should only purchase term insurance.
- Reverse mortgages are a scam.
Join us for an interactive time of discovery together on September 26th with Ken Shipley, CFP®. You will leave this workshop with education and perspective on this confusing world called financial planning that will arm you with tools to create your financial future.
