Early/Mid Career

Pay For The Present While Saving For The Future

Things are going well, you have a great job, perhaps a loving partner, maybe even some wonderful kids, but there is always that nagging feeling. That question that keeps you up at night – am I doing this right?

You might have a mortgage, a 401k, college savings, life insurance, and the list goes on. But you’re not quite sure if you’re saving the right way:

  • Traditional IRA vs. Roth IRA
  • 529 plans vs. prepaid plans
  • Term life insurance vs. universal life insurance

It’s overwhelming!

At Van Wie Financial, we help navigate all aspects of your financial life, not just your investments. Our clients are very diverse, but the one thing they all have in common is that they are faced with the competing challenges of paying for the lifestyle they desire while saving for the future.

Our goals-based planning process helps you achieve both through proper planning, implementation, and monitoring of your personalized financial plan.

If this sounds like a process that could be beneficial to you. Book a complimentary meeting with us through the form below or call the office at 904-685-1505 and take that next step toward financial independence.

Enjoy Your Retirement Without Worrying About Money

You did it! All the years of hard work have finally paid off. Now you get to sit back and relax… or so you thought. What you didn’t realize is that retirement comes with its own unique stresses and relaxing may not come as easy as you thought it would.

Your mind suddenly fills with questions like:

  • Will my money last?
  • Am I spending too much?
  • Am I invested too aggressively or too conservatively?
  • What happens to my money when I’m gone?
  • How do I know if I’m doing this right?

It is commonly said that there are two things people fear more than death – public speaking and running out of money. We can’t help you give a speech, but we can help you worry less about your money.

Here at Van Wie Financial, we want to give you peace of mind that you are making the right choices. We work with each of our clients, individually tailoring investment plans, income plans, and estate plans to fit their unique needs.

We know how hard you worked to get to this point in your life. You should be out doing exactly what you want to do, not thinking about your finances. Start by booking a complimentary meeting with us today using the form below or call the office at 904-685-1505.
