The Portfolio Review and Second Opinion Program is meant to provide this kind of support advice. It is not a complete plan but instead designed to help you assess the current state of your investments and savings and determine changes needed to better direct you toward your goals.

• Complementary 45 minute initial meeting.

u Financial 'Directions' Program

The Financial Directions Program is a one-time, financial planning session. It provides a two hour meeting where the clients can come to discuss one or two financial planning topics that are most important to them. It is not a typically complete plan but can serve as a way for those who are just starting out or are new to the Financial Planning process to obtain advice on a limited number of issues. Clients complete a 'Client Questionnaire' prior to the face-to-face meeting. This information is sent to our office at least 10 days prior to the scheduled meeting to allow us to review the information and prepare for our meeting.

The topics you may choose to discuss might include:

• How should I invest in my 401k?
• What is the best way to set-up a budget?
• How much should we save for our kid's college?
• Are we saving enough?
• Should we refinance our mortgage?
• Can we purchase a second home?
