Financial Foundation

  • There’s no “right” way to manage your finances, but there’s an effective way that aligns with your goals and personal values. If you’d like to talk about your options and figure out the best choice for you, schedule a consultation call.

Resource Awareness

  • We understand that you may be hesitant to trust financial institutions, perhaps due to negative experiences with banks or discriminatory practices like redlining. However, banks are generally considered safe for storing cash due to:

    • FDIC Insurance: Most banks are FDIC-insured, protecting deposits up to $250,000 per depositor, per bank, in case of bank failure.

    • Regulations and Oversight: Banks are highly regulated and must adhere to strict guidelines to maintain solvency and transparency, ensuring financial stability and trustworthiness.

    • Interest and Accessibility: Bank deposits may earn interest, and funds are easily accessible when needed.

    If you'd like to talk about these options and figure out the best choice for you, schedule a consultation call. During this call, we can conduct a comprehensive overview of your financial situation and goals and then create specific actions that you can take to improve your financial future.

Managing Debt

  • We understand that everyone has a unique view on personal debt. Generally speaking, a healthy credit history and credit score may help you accomplish certain financial goals, such as purchasing a home, car, or starting a business. Without a strong credit history, banks will be less likely to loan you money.

    If you’d like to talk about your options and figure out the best choice for your specific goals, schedule a consultation call. During this call, we’ll conduct a comprehensive overview of your financial health and then create specific actions that you can take to improve your financial future.

How We Can Help

Remittances

  • Supporting family abroad and taking care of yourself may feel like a juggling act. We can help you prioritize what’s most important to you. For all of our clients, we prioritize budgeting, paying off high interest debt, and building an emergency fund. Determining the best way to budget will require a deeper dive into your spending habits, the amount of support your family needs, and what’s realistic with your current level of income.

  • Setting financial goals is the first step in investing. These goals will help you determine how much money you need, the reason for needing the money, and when you will need to use it. Next, you need to determine your risk tolerance and your risk capacity. Investing always carries the potential for losses, but you may mitigate this through investing in appropriate and diversified investment vehicles.

Family Dynamics

  • Caring for your parents can be a complex responsibility, and we're here to support you. In Pilipino culture, this is called “utang na loob”, which means “debt of the heart” in English and describes the sense of obligation to return a favor owed to someone. We can help you understand what you can realistically provide within your budget, potential cost savings, and how to build in your own savings for retirement.
