Tara Spencer, Financial Consultant Helping individuals & families make smart financial decisions, aligning investments with real-life goals.

Full bio/disclosures: https://barnumfinancialgroup.com/representative/tara-spencer/ Before discovering my passion for personal finance, I spent years as a director of finance in the hotel industry, where I made confusing, complex financial figures simple for my team. As a mom of four, I know firsthand what it means to balance work, family, and everything in between, and that perspective shapes how I work with every client. I guide individuals and families through a wide range of financial needs, from investment management and long-term wealth accumulation to personalized risk management strategies that safeguard their assets and financial future. Whether you're saving for the future, planning for retirement, or making sure your family is protected no matter what life brings, I'll help you put the pieces together with confidence. I love helping people thrive and turning aspirations into achievable plans. As a holistic financial coach with training through Columbia University, I go beyond the numbers to understand your deeper goals and values. My mission is simple: to help you live the life you design. Family, faith, and contribution are at the center of my world. Outside the office, you'll find me with my kids, engaged in community service, leading my Girl Scouts or church youth activities, reading, running, or taking on my next adventure.

Three things for an employee to look at if your ESOP company is sold:

1️⃣ What does this mean for you financially? It’s important to be clear on the details – price per share, deal structure, and your voting rights are all important considerations.

2️⃣ How and when you’ll get paid – this varies, so it is important to be clear on the details about vesting, payout timing, and form of payment to expect.

3️⃣ Taxes and distribution options – for many employees, this may be the largest sum of money ever received, so it’s important to understand how it is taxed and how it fits in your overall financial plan.

Don’t go it alone – I can help you understand these considerations and more. Let’s connect.

I had a moment this weekend - I found myself saying "I am just counting down the days until this girl is out of teething and sleeping through the night" and my husband replied - "don't count the days, make the days count."
To which caught me by surprise because that sounded like profound wisdom coming from him (although it's probably something I've said to him on multiple occasions - a quote from Muhammad Ali.)
So I needed that reminder. When I am trying to rush through the stage of life that I am in, I want to stop, take inventory and say did I make today count? I invested time in my kids, my family so yeah, let's call it a win.
