Living Under Par will take vision, planning, and execution. We guide you through a simple, proven routine to connect how you spend your money and time with what you want out of life.
You wouldn't show up to play the US Open without playing a practice round. We don't expect you to join Under Par Planning without a practice round either.
The practice round is always on the house. This is about getting to know one another and making sure what we do is the right fit for what you are looking for. We want you to get a taste of real financial planning so you can feel great about your decision to move forward. We are going to listen a lot more than we talk. We would love to learn:
What brings you here today?
What would an Under Par life look like for you?
What questions do you have for us?
If you are married or have a partner, we want to get to know both of you. While there will certainly be overlap, your answers to these questions will not be identical. Every person has unique life aspirations. Real financial planning will make sure that each of you get what you need to feel completely fulfilled.
It's easy to feel like the entire financial world has teamed up to create confusion. Maybe they have, they profit off the complexity. It's nearly impossible to see all your accounts in one place or get a complete view of your financial life. It shouldn't be this way.
Those days are done. We will start by helping you organize all your financial data and accounts into your secure personal financial planning portal. Consider it the golf bag for your financial life, everything you need will be in there. Personal insurance, employee benefits, 401(k) accounts, IRA accounts, your mortgage, you name it. It is the simplified view you've been looking for and you'll have a complete view of your financial life whenever you want it.
And if you've been spending hours tracking this all of this yourself in a spreadsheet, you just took all that time back and can spend it doing what you love.
We know where you're starting from. Let's figure out where you want to go.
A critical element of any golfers pre-shot routine is visualization. What shot are you trying to hit?
Visualization is equally important in life. What life are you trying to build?
Too often we skip this step in our daily lives. It's understandable too, life's busy and there a hundred different things competing for your money, time, and talent. But as Yogi Berra once said, "If you don't know where you're going, you might wind up someplace else."
Be intentional.
We will help you push pause on the daily grind and visualize the life you truly want to build. We will guide you through The Three Questions and Heart's Core exercises to shine a spotlight on what truly matters and separate them from wishes and obligations. What do you truly want to have, to accomplish, or to become to feel fulfilled? Let yourself go, dream big. Stepping into your true vision will feel like slipping on the green jacket on Sunday.
You deserve to live an Under Par life. You've got what it takes. Let's start planning.
"A vision without a plan is just a dream. A plan without a vision is just drudgery. But a vision with a plan can change the world." - Proverb
We've all been there. We get super excited about our new idea or the change we are going to make in our lives. But then nothing happens. Why?
A vision without a plan is just a dream.
Traditional financial planning reduces your life to numbers on a spreadsheet with little regard for who you are and what will make you happy, now or in the future. The recommendations may be sound but you don't implement any of them. Why?
A plan without a vision is just drudgery.
Real financial planning is driven by your vision. Feeling how important this is to you, what could possibly get in the way? We will help you answer this question and start planning to overcome these obstacles and get more out of money, time and talent. The Ideal Day/Week/Year exercise will help you see where you spend time today and the changes you can make to spend more time doing what you love. We bring our financial planning expertise to the table and make it easy to understand your financial options so you can make great financial decisions that connect what you do with your money with what you want out of life.
A vision with real financial planning can change your world.
Let's make it happen.
Great planning will only get you so far, you'll need to take action to turn your vision into your reality. We will guide you through identifying what needs to get done right away, what can wait, start taking action, and create accountability to make sure things get done.
We don't just get you to the first tee and send you out there alone hoping for the best. We are with you every step of the way providing ongoing planning that adjusts to the changing conditions of your life, your money, and the world around you.
We are continuously monitoring your financial plan and helping you track results using the Under Par Scorecard. The scorecard tracks key areas of your financial life and provides a simple visual that confirms you're in good shape or highlights something that needs to be addressed. If something needs to be addressed, we'll walk you through your options and help you save your financial par.
Our scheduled Alignment Checks are designed to make sure what you are doing with your money remains in alignment with what you want out of life. We will reconnect with your vision, refine it as needed, review your Scorecard, and identify the next action steps. And when the truly unexpected happens, we are available whenever you need us.
What are you waiting for? It's time to start living Under Par.
You know how much your round will cost before you book a tee time. You know how much that driver in the pro shop will cost before you buy it.
You shouldn't have to read the fine print to know what you are paying your financial planner.
That's why we list our pricing right here. No commissions, no hidden fees, no BS.
See, we've already saved you time.
We do our best work with busy professionals in their 30's and 40's, household incomes of $200,000 or more, love to play golf, and want to create their future rather than simply participate in it.
