Knowing what you truly value and why leads to greater focus on what is relevant to your financial life. We use a values-based planning process that seeks to align your money with your values. It starts by exploring your values so that you may gain greater recognition and understanding of what is most important to you and why. It helps to clarify your attitudes and behaviors regarding money so that you can focus on how money can support what matters most.
Values-based planning is a method to help you openly think about your emotional state toward money. For many, money is a taboo subject, and is woefully neglected in our educational system. This can lead to feelings of isolation due to a fear of judgment or lack of a good resource to turn to. When uncertain about something, humans tend to stay with the status quo, despite the potential outcome. Change involves risk and risk could cause harm.
Gaining relevance and understanding through values-based planning promotes confidence that leads to positive actions and the potential for better outcomes. It is instrumental in helping people give themselves the permission to live the lives they envision by coming to terms with how they have treated money in the past.
