The advisor listed is an Ameriprise financial advisor in Raleigh. Comments are not verified, may not be accurate and are not necessarily representative of the experiences of the advisor's clients. Would you say the primary determinant of your financial success is a) investment returns, b) living debt free, or c) paying attention to finances regularly? While all three of these options are important, the trait that I see characterizes financially successful people the most is that they pay regular attention to their finances. Sounds too simple, right? The sticky point for many folks is that lifes busy pace and our own personal interests frequently spoil our good intentions by stacking up ahead of our time dedicated for managing finances. My approach involves becoming the key contact for busy people who want to do better for themselves financially. I start by understanding what you want, helping you get a thorough grip on where you stand, and then informing you about options to help you plan to achieve your goals. I help you take action by quieting the noise of information that may be irrelevant to you so that you are free to focus on whats important. Most importantly, I stick with you as you move towards your goals regularly reviewing your progress and working together to handle opportunities and challenges. Does systematically paying attention to your finances guarantee success? No. Regular exercise wont guarantee eternal health either. The difference is that no one else can exercise for you, but you can engage an advisor to help you plan for your financial goals.
