Life is meaningful because it is a story.

Atul Gawande

A well-designed plan is one you believe in.

Documenting your values and aspirations helps align your current behavior and financial decisions toward your most important milestones — giving you the best chance of intentionally shaping your legacy.

Life is fluid and will introduce the unexpected. Effective planning should adapt to changing times, fluctuating markets, and evolving circumstances to continuously identify the most appropriate way forward.

In stories, endings matter.
