At Moneta, we are not only financial advisers, we are fiduciaries. We maintain the highest standards.

Our practice strives to help individuals and families that are trying to make sound financial decisions. We have found that many of our clients are working on multiple financial goals and need someone to help put everything into focus rather than looking at each financial area individually. This is why we focus on the whole picture to help make sure our clients are making educated financial decisions. We are committed to the families we work with and take the time to learn about their entire financial life so we can provide the most appropriate guidance possible.

How do I decide who I want to be in retirement?

You may worry that you’ll miss the hallway talks, the team, the people who knew you by your work.

If you're an executive or business owner a few years from retiring, and your financial plan is in place but your future daily life still feels blank, this is for you.

Most people start with a calendar question. How will I fill all this time? That concern makes sense. Thomas Auffenberg, Founder of The Next Chapter Institute and Author of Discerning Retirement, calls retirement the most radical freedom you've ever had. And that can feel daunting.

In a conversation with Danton Troyer and Kyle Luetters of Moneta, Tom shared that when he asks his groups why they came, about 95% say they are concerned about filling their time in retirement. As they go through the process, most shift toward a different question: what person do I want to be in this next chapter?

Someone might decide to be more generous with their time and talents. Someone else might want to be more patient. Once WHO they want to be is clear, how to spend the days often gets easier.

This is a useful perspective for financial planning, too. When you have a clearer picture of the life you want, you can make more intentional decisions about how your money supports that. You can find the full conversation by searching Wit, Wisdom, and What Matters Most on YouTube.

How would you most like people to describe you five years after you retire?

If you’re ready to connect your financial plan with your life plan, please reach out to our team.

A guest on our podcast once said something that’s stuck with us: most high-stakes decisions aren’t won or lost in the moment you make them — they’re won or lost in how calm you are able to stay while making them.

That applies well beyond the boardroom. Market dips, big life transitions, unexpected expenses — the instinct to panic is natural, but it rarely leads to the best decision.

What has helped you make calm decisions in the past?

In this conversation, Danton Troyer and Kyle Luetters talk with Thomas Auffenberg, founder of The Next Chapter Institute and author of Discerning Retirement, about the non-financial side of leaving a long career. Danton shares that people often underestimate the retirement transition and the loss of identity, even after the numbers are in place. Tom explains why deciding who you want to be in your next chapter can help guide how you choose to spend your time.

Something we talk about a lot internally: a good financial plan isn’t something we hand you once and never revisit.

Life changes — a new grandchild, a health scare, a career shift, a market that moves faster than anyone expected. The plan should move with you, not sit in a drawer until the next annual review.

That’s part of why we check in more than once a year for most of our clients. If it’s been a while since we’ve talked through what’s changed in your life, that’s always worth a conversation — not just a portfolio update.

“Should I pay off my mortgage early, or keep investing instead?”

There’s no universal right answer — it depends on your interest rate, your tax situation, how close you are to retirement, and honestly, how you feel about debt. Some people sleep better with it paid off. Others would rather keep their money working and make extra payments later if their situation changes.

It’s less about the math (though that matters) and more about what actually gives you peace of mind. If you’ve been going back and forth on this one, you’re not alone — it’s one of the most common questions in our planning conversations.
