It’s something that often comes up in conversations with clients, whether it’s helping adult children with housing expenses, student debt or other financial challenges. As David notes, "The reality is we live in an age of financial uncertainty and anxiety like no other." Having open conversations and a thoughtful plan can help families navigate those decisions with greater confidence.

The first $100,000 is often the hardest milestone to reach — and the most rewarding.

Early on, progress can feel slow, especially when you're balancing family, work and other financial priorities. But once your portfolio grows, investment returns can begin doing more of the heavy lifting.

If you're working toward your first $100,000, stay focused on the habits that matter most: investing consistently, staying diversified and remaining committed through market ups and downs. Those habits can make all the difference over time.
