Financial fulfillment is about more than money. It's having confidence in your future, being prepared for the unexpected, and feeling in control of your financial life.

Research from Edward Jones and Gallup found that financially fulfilled individuals often:
• Have an emergency fund
• Follow a retirement strategy
• Save for major goals
• Have an estate plan
• Work with a financial advisor

Financial fulfillment may be closer than you think. Let's talk about the steps that can help you get there.

I had a great time volunteering at the 16th Annual Edwardsville Rotary Criterium this past weekend!

It was my first time attending the Criterium, and I was truly impressed. From the athletes competing at a high level to the incredible turnout from the community, it was exciting to see the energy and support this event brings to Edwardsville.

I was grateful for the opportunity to play a small role in helping make the event a success, and I'm already looking forward to next year's race!

Even though 32% of Americans experience are financially stressed and money is a constant source of pressure, 73% are using the internet as a source of financial advice, and largely managing their finances alone. This is where a financial advisor can make a difference. Research shows that financially fulfilled adults are 4.3x more likely to work with a financial advisor compared to financially stressed adults.

If financial stress is something you’re dealing with on your own, you don’t have to. Let’s talk through where you are and where you want to go.

If you'll soon retire, or recently have, market volatility may feel especially unsettling. And that’s understandable because at this point in your life, market downturns can have an outsized impact on your financial security.

That’s why now is a good time to stress-test your retirement income.

First, start by confirming how much you rely on your portfolio for income and how a market drop may affect your short-term needs.

Then consider whether you have enough in an emergency fund to help you through. Three to six months’ worth of essential expenses is a standard rule of thumb.

And think about where you could adjust your spending, and if you need to reduce your exposure to riskier assets such as stocks.

If you’d like help stress-testing your retirement income plan, I can help you evaluate your options and stay focused on your long-term goals, even when the markets are anything but steady.
