Let's talk about it

Shanika McCloud has more than 15 years of experience between real estate, banking, mortgage lending, and financial planning. As the daughter of a veteran, she has a special place in her heart for the men and women who serve our country. Growing up in a military household afforded the opportunity to live in different countries. Her travels continued to take her around the world

as an adult, eventually placing her in Seoul, South Korea where she taught English at a higher learning language institute. The allure she found in other cultures gave her a greater appreciation for the differences that make us all uniquely beautiful. Today, Shanika is a financial advisor and small business owner located in the DC metropolitan area. Her entrepreneurial mindset leads her to seek the most innovative ways to deliver value to clients. She is passionate about the financial industry; her love for the industry started several years ago while working in the banking world. The journey into the financial planning industry started when she lost her father to cancer. His untimely death at the age of 55 exposed how financially unprepared her family was to deal with such a great loss. Helping clients achieve their financial dreams while avoiding financial landmines is her greatest reward.

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.

Seven in 10 Americans on six-figure salaries aren’t financially fulfilled—even wealthy Gen Zers.
