At Dean Charles Associates, Inc, we strongly believe that a person cannot realize their dreams, accomplish their goals, or live the lifestyle they wish to live without proper financial planning. Whether your goal is a care-free retirement, college education for your children or grandchildren, or the purchase of a home…you must plan and we can help.
We help you prepare for the Certainty of Uncertainty with a holistic, Values-Based approach to financial planning which recognizes the impact of behavior and emotions when achieving one’s financial goals.
So, what are some of the categories of Uncertainty and how do we incorporate them into our Values-Based planning process? Let’s take a look.
Categories of Uncertainty
- Outliving your money in retirement
- Economic conditions impacting growth, recessions, inflation, and employment
- Market conditions impacting stocks, bonds, and real estate
- Unexpected premature death of spouse or parent
- Unexpected medical or long-term care expenses
- Loss of income due to unemployment, disability, or long-term illness
- Unexpected Major Expenses
