Kim Spencer, CFP(r) Take the to Financial Independence! My approach may be different from many planners. I plan to be working with them for many years to come.

I take a personal interest in my client's lives, and assist them in any area they wish. Aside from helping them establish, plan and invest for their life goals, I also work with their other partners; attorneys, tax professionals and insurance agents to ensure they have taken care of all aspects of their financial life.. Another area that's important to me is education; and to that end, I offer se

minars covering different aspects of finance, from senior scams to women and finance, both to my clients and to the community.I also teach Financial Planning for Divorce through UT's Non Credit Program. My clients become part of my family, and one of my greatest joys is working with multiple generations within the same families.

"How much do I need for retirement?" It's the question I hear more than any other, and the truth is, the answer isn't one-size-fits-all. In this video, I'm breaking down how I help clients find their number. πŸ’›

We're halfway through the year. How is your garden growing? 🌱

It's a good time to check in on what's thriving and what might need a little attention. Are you on track with your savings goals? Has anything changed, a job, a move, a family shift, that affects your plan? Have you checked your beneficiaries lately?

There's still enough runway to make meaningful adjustments before December. If you'd like a mid-year check-in, I'd love to help. πŸ’›

This week's Ask Kim comes from a reader facing something no one plans for. Her husband has been diagnosed with a chronic illness, and their financial picture has suddenly shifted at a stage in life when retirement should be coming into view.

The good news is that there is time to plan. Read my full response here: https://yourplacetoflourish.com/ask-kim-preparing-for-chronic-illness/ πŸ’›

I came across an article that made my heart ache a little. About 40% of people in their 30s have no retirement savings. If that's you, I want you to know something: you're not failing. πŸ’™

Life is expensive. Housing costs are crushing. Healthcare isn't affordable. Student loans are still there. When you're doing your best just to get through the month, retirement savings feels like a luxury you can't afford.

But here's what I want you to hear: it's not too late. Even just a small amount saved in your 30s can grow significantly by the time you're 65, thanks to time and interest.

You don't need to have it all figured out. You don't need a huge amount. You just need to take that first small step, and I promise it gets easier from there. 🌱

If you're feeling overwhelmed about where to start, that's exactly why I'm here. Let's build something realistic for your life right now.

In my first short video, I'm sharing two things I wish more young people heard early: why student loans deserve a second thought, and how to use a credit card wisely without letting it use you. πŸ’›

Summer is calling, and you deserve to answer. But before you book that trip, a little planning goes a long way.

Build your vacation into your budget before you build your itinerary. Know what you can spend without touching savings or carrying a balance home. That number is your real vacation budget.

Rest and fun are part of a life well lived. Plan for them the same way you plan for everything else that matters. If you'd like help making room for the things you enjoy, let's talk.

This week's Ask Kim hits close to home for a lot of people.

A reader recently lost their job, and they're wondering if cashing out their 401(k) is the right move to buy themselves a little more breathing room.

It's a question worth thinking through carefully before making any moves.

Memorial Day holds a special place in my heart. I'm reminded today of the deep sacrifice behind this holiday and of the families who carry that loss.

However you're spending the day, I hope you find a moment to remember those who gave everything for this country.
