Edward Jones Financial Advisor: Alyssa Burks

I'm encouraged to see that Gen Z is already thinking about building long-term financial security. Yet research shows many young adults still haven't taken the first step by participating in a workplace retirement plan.

As a financial advisor, I know that getting started can often be the hardest part of saving and investing. Having access to the right resources, education and guidance can help individuals build healthy financial habits and greater confidence in their future.

That's why I find it so rewarding to help people make progress toward their goals, so they can feel more confident about their future.

This scam often involves an attorney searching for a beneficiary for his or her deceased client. Keep in mind that you should never pay money in order to get money. If you believe an offer is legitimate, discuss it with a family member or trusted friend to gain an outside perspective.

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.
