How should I budget and track my spending?

We use Monarch Money to create awareness about spending and provide the tools to budget. Monarch is included in all client tiers: Financial Coaching, Essential Wealth Management, and Advanced Wealth Management.

How much should I save and where should I put it?

Saving income is key to reaching future goals such as home ownership, family planning, and retirement. We make personalized saving and investing plans for each client based on their ability, limitations, and goal horizon.

Should I pay off debt or invest?

Some general advice would be to limit and prioritize high interest debt such as credit cards. Moderate interest debt can be delayed to make long term investments at reasonable rates of return. Low interest debt, where the interest rate is meaningfully below the expected long term investment return, is the lowest priority. Consider how having debt makes you feel — some people experience more stress when in debt than others. This answer is highly personal and specific recommendations are only given on a client by client basis.
