Concord Financial Planning

Concord, Massachusetts

Concord, Massachusetts

– /kong-kered/ pronounced like “conquered”, not “Con-cord” /kon-kawrd/

Enduring, respecting the past and guiding the future, while being in awe of the present moment. That is the attraction of Concord. Practical yet profound, caring and connected, the essential elements of a life well lived. This, to me, describes the appeal of the Concord ethos. This is why Journey works and serves here.

Journey to Financial Independence

This research shows just how much work there is to be done.

A 2015 survey of investors with a net worth of $1 million or more by UBS found that while millionaires derive significant satisfaction from the wealth they amassed, they also feel compelled to strive for more, spurred on by their own ambition, the desire to protect their families’ lifestyle and an “ever-present fear of losing it all.”

Half of millionaires with less than $5 million—and 63 percent of those working with children at home—believe that one wrong move, such as a job loss or market crash, would have a major impact on their lifestyle, the survey found.

When a cost of $0 is not free

Is your financial house completely in order? Think about the opportunity cost if isn’t. What is the value of your time with your young adult children when they are only home a few weeks each year? Or your babies while they are still little? There is real opportunity cost of your time, in terms of spending less time with the people you care about most. What personal passion could you be mastering? What is the value of a few extra hours each week in nature or exercising or preparing healthy meals? The cost of not planning for your financial goals, or doing it yourself is not without a clear and present cost.

It is possible to have greater control and spend less time on your financial planning and still achieve greater independence. What is the value of having complete confidence and not having to think about it other than a few times per year when you meet with your planning team?
