Which Best Describes You

Getting Started

Young professionals face unique financial challenges that call for creative financial solutions. Social Security is being washed away. Education and living costs continue to rise. Debt and increasing costs are pushing off traditional goals such as homeownership and family plans. As a millennials or Get Z, you have a huge advantage when it comes to financial planning: time. With smart money management, budget savviness and investment knowledge, your financial goals can be well within reach.

I Am a New Parent

Life is busy. And life as a parent is extremely busy. Making difficult decisions when you’re running on three hours of sleep with a work deadline right around the corner just isn’t easy. That’s why it can be so hard balancing all of the financial responsibilities that come along with raising a family. Where are you supposed to start saving? How are you supposed to hit your long-term financial goals while also living the life you work so hard for in the short-term? Don’t worry! You are not alone in asking those questions. And you’re certainly not alone if you haven’t been thinking about them too much, either.

Sandwich Generation

Your aging parents are ahead of you. They may be healthy now, maybe not. Whatever their status now, they want to finish their golden years in peace — and that needs looking after sometimes. Your children are aging through high school and up into college. That means tuition and potentially more financial support after they graduate. On top of looking after the needs of others, you also need to plan your own retirement as well as control other costs. Mortgage, life insurance, car payments, etc. But with lots of immediate financial decisions to be made for family members ahead or behind you, it can be hard to come up with the right plan for everything. And everyone! That’s where Thrive Wealth Strategies can help you.

Investment Management

The goal of a THRIVE investment strategy is to maximize the potential for wealth accumulation (growth investing) during strong economic times, while being able to pivot to wealth preservation (value and/or countercyclical investing) during economic downturns. THRIVE uses a proprietary investment methodology to rebalance your portfolio among multiple asset classes in response to varying conditions. It is seeking to pursue the strongest asset class(es) for any given investor’s needs in any particular type of investing environment.
