Can a six-figure income still leave you feeling financially lost?

Our research with Gallup — recently featured in Fortune — found that among Americans earning more than $135,000, nearly 70% still struggle to feel financially fulfilled. Even more striking: 1 in 5 high earners report experiencing significant financial stress.

As a financial advisor, this doesn't surprise me. Income alone doesn't create confidence. What can make a difference is having a clear plan, knowing what matters most to you, and feeling genuinely in control of your financial future.
If any of this resonates, I'd love to start a conversation.

It seems it wasn't that long ago I was going off to college and was bombarded with credit card offers on campus advertising free t-shirts. As a broke college student new to adulthood without supervision, those accounts set me up with some bad habits early on that required focus to redirect into good habits.

While no longer allowed to solicit on campus or to individuals under 21, there are still pitfalls to misusing credit. Now we have options for helping our kids learn good money management. We have access to spending limits or can add them as an authorized user to our credit cards.

Have you explored financial literacy with your college-bound student? Let's chat about their options as a team.
