Retirement Planning:
Working hard and hoping you can retire some day is not the best way to plan for your golden years. While hard work is certainly admirable, it alone will not ensure your retirement goals are met. At ATM Financial Services we get to know our clients so we can better understand your goals and objectives. We take time to understand your risk tolerance as well as assess your current financial position. By doing these things up front we can help you determine if your goals are realistic and achievable. This allows us to build a plan that is tailored to each clients specific goals and objectives.
Education Planning:
The cost of a college education continues to grow in the United States. More and more students are having to fund their education costs through student loans. With some households having more than one student attending college at the same time the average student debt per household was more than $47,000 in 2015. This level of debt can burden an individual or family for many years and possibly prevent them from meeting other financial goals and objectives. Even if you don’t plan to fully fund your child’s education having a plan that provides some funding can go a long way toward helping them become financially independent.
Risk Management:
There are many ways to manage risk as it relates to your finances. Insurance is obviously one option, but there are other methods as well such as having an emergency fund. Having easily accessible cash set aside for unplanned events allows you to manage these events without threatening other assets or possibly creating credit card debt that comes at a higher price and could hinder or slow your other financial goals. What happens if you lose your job? Do you have funds set aside to cover your living expenses while you seek new employment? Do you need insurance to only cover your final expenses or does it need to provide support for a surviving spouse? We can help you decide on the right mix of risk management techniques and strategies for you and your family.
