Meet Amanda, a 35-year-old marketing manager residing in Brighton, MI. With a bustling career and a family of four, her life is a beautiful whirlwind of work deadlines and soccer practices. Amanda aspires to provide a comfortable lifestyle for her family while securing their financial future.
Amanda's ambitions are grounded in love and foresight:
-
Purchasing a bigger home to accommodate her growing family.
-
Saving for her children’s college education.
-
Building a robust retirement nest egg.
Amidst the daily hustle, Amanda finds it challenging to effectively manage her finances. The demands of her job and family leave little time for financial planning, leading to neglected savings and unattended investment accounts.
Amanda tried using automated financial management apps, but they lacked the personal touch and understanding of her unique family and financial situation. She also consulted a financial advisor once but felt they were more focused on upselling products than understanding her goals.
