MWA Ep. 21: Financial Independence Plan Case Study

Transform your assets into the life you’ve always dreamed of!

In this episode of the MedTech Wealth Advisor podcast, host Matt Nelson, CFP® and Jacob LaRue, CFP® go through a real-life example in a case study. They discuss the imperative considerations and how they created a Financial Independence Plan unique to the client. 

The first step is to understand the clients’ values, needs, and what exactly they want out of life. Then they can delve into the specifics of their financial picture and specific challenges, such as stock options. With all the information delivered a plan is developed to reach their short-term and long-term financial independence goals while still prioritizing the values, goals, and desired lifestyle of the client. 

Also discussed is creating a “baseline scenario” to account for potential ups and downs in income and expenses. This creates a solid framework that can adapt even in the face of major life events. Tune in for a comprehensive look at what it takes to plan for your future and create your own personal Financial Freedom Statement!
