    Ep #6: Why I Started Wealth And Plan

    In today’s episode of Wealth in Progress, I share my journey from being a young kid learning about finance to starting my own firm, Wealth and Plan. I saw firsthand how my parents were turned away by financial advisors because they didn’t meet asset minimums. That moment fueled my passion to create a space where everyone is welcomed, regardless of their financial situation. At Wealth and Plan, we believe in human-to-human interaction and treating clients like family. No one should feel like they don’t have enough to seek financial guidance. ---Wealth and Plan is a Registered Investment Adviser in the state of Texas, Louisiana, and in other jurisdictions where exempt from registration.

    Ep #5: How Interest Rates Actually Affect Consumers

    Interest rates determine the cost of borrowing money, and they impact everything from mortgage rates to car loans. When rates rise, borrowing becomes more expensive, making big purchases daunting. But there's a silver lining: higher interest rates can mean better returns on savings accounts! Conversely, lower rates make borrowing cheaper, encouraging spending but also increasing competition in the housing market. Understanding the ebb and flow of interest rates is crucial for making informed financial decisions. Stay proactive and don't let headlines dictate your actions. ---Wealth and Plan is a Registered Investment Adviser in the state of Texas, Louisiana, and in other jurisdictions where exempt from registration.
