February is Valentine’s Day month; it’s the time of year for thoughts to turn to how best to express your love to that special someone in your life. Whether a bouquet of flowers, a night out at a fancy restaurant, or a special surprise gift, money is often how we convey how important they are to us.
For though love is not reducible to what we spend, money is a store of what we value, a repository of time and work, saved and invested over years—if not decades—for the betterment of ourselves, as well as those whom we love.
But it’s not always easy to negotiate the right balance between putting in the necessary work to achieve your financial goals and spending enough time with loved ones.
That’s what I’m here for: helping you to best manage your finances, relieving its pressures, allowing you to optimize not only your life, but also those of your loved ones.
Never hesitate to let me know how I can help!
