Meet Mike & Katie

Mike is 35, works at AT&T, has a 401k he is funding, an old 401k at a previous employer and a Roth IRA
Katie is 32, works at the local school district, funding a 403B and will have a pension upon retiring
They have two children, age 10 and 8

How I Helped:

Consolidated Mike’s old investment accounts under one roof; found more suitable investment options with his current 401k; established beneficiaries on all accounts
Developed a written financial plan to potentially maximize after-tax wealth and create a roadmap they can follow to stay on track each year and measure their progress
Established college savings plans to help fund a portion of their children’s college costs
Obtained life insurance coverage to protect against the unexpected; coverage enough to:

Cover their life goals from being unattainable due to loss of income from an early death
Covered 50% of their future tuition costs in case they pass away early; their kids have HALF of their expenses already covered
Covers ALL debts, creates 5 years of income replacement for each spouse, and an emergency fund for the surviving spouse
