FAQ – Understanding Holistic Planning
What does “holistic” financial planning mean?
Holistic financial planning means looking at your entire financial picture—not just investments or income, but how every piece fits together. At Financial LifeLab, that means we help you understand how your cash flow, taxes, debt, insurance, and long-term goals work in harmony. The goal is simple: to create a plan that supports your life today and prepares you for the years ahead.
Do I need a certain net worth to start planning?
No. True financial planning is about direction, not a dollar amount. Whether you’re in your 20s building a foundation or in your 50s refining a retirement strategy, a plan brings structure and confidence. In fact, clients often find the earlier they start, the more flexibility they have to shape their future.
How often should we review my plan?
We believe financial planning is a lifelong process. Your first plan is the starting point—but real value comes from monitoring and refining it over time. We typically meet with clients at least annually to review progress, adjust for tax or market changes, and confirm your goals still align with your plan.
What makes Financial LifeLab’s approach different from other financial advisors?
Many advisors focus narrowly on investments or product sales. At Financial LifeLab, we focus on your entire financial ecosystem. Our fiduciary standard means every recommendation is made solely in your best interest. We also operate independently, giving us the flexibility to design truly personalized strategies—without pressure from third-party products.
