How can we use and grow our personal and financial assets
to build the life we want for ourselves and our families?
Helping people think about this question is the goal of the
Personal Wealth Map™ and Life Stage Guides.
Think of the Personal Wealth Map™ and Life Stage Guides as “jump-starters” for your thinking and as basic checklists of financial topics you might want to explore with family, friends, or a financial advisor.
These materials are just a starting point, and you are strongly encouraged to utilize the many other terrific sources of personal finance insight (finance professionals, books, videos, training courses, ChatGPT, etc.) available online and elsewhere for additional and deeper understanding. Please see the disclaimer and free usage information below.
This is a 1-page framework explaining how "Money Sources" and "Money Uses" work together to create (or prevent) wealth. The back includes an overview of the map, plus "5 things financial experts often tell their kids."
This is a 12-page packet including the Personal Wealth Map™ and a collection of eight Life Stage Guides. These guides are 1-page summaries customized for each of eight age groups that summarize things you might want to consider for each section of the Personal Wealth Map™. Also included is a short "how-to-get-started" guide.
