Retirement Planning - Can you retire when you want to? How much will it cost and is the plan sustainable?
Education Planning - Will it be a out-of-state private university or local community college? What's feasible?
Required Rate of Return - How hard does your money need to work for you? How much risk do you need to take, and how much can you handle?
Insurance Planning - I'll give you the best life, disability, and long-term care insurance advice without pushing products.
Tax Planning - There's asset allocation and then there's asset location. How can both work for you?
Coordinating With Your Other Advisors - Shouldn't your tax, legal, and financial advisors all be on the same page? Of course! So I help with that.

What You Can Expect
Transparency - Ridgeview Financial Planning is a fee-only firm so you'll know exactly what the services will cost, no surprises. All of my recommendations will be in writing. Any conflicts of interest will be disclosed.
Accountability - I work for you, not a brokerage firm, so my loyalty to you is undivided. I'm held to the fiduciary standard, higher than "brokers" and other investment salespersons.
Education - Whether it's about today's market activity, Federal Reserve policy, or whether or not you should pay off your mortgage, I love answering questions. You should be as market-savvy as you want, and I want to help get you there.
Open Communication - I'll be available for regular review meetings and one-off questions.
