The Maxwells: Balancing a fellowship
and a young family
Meet the Maxwell Family
Dan was a fellow juggling a growing career, military service, and busy home life – while also trying to DIY the family’s finances – when he and his wife reached out to us.
The initial financial priorities they shared with us included:
- They had come into some excess cash and wanted to use it wisely to get them on the path toward their financial goals
- Simplifying their financial life - they were overwhelmed by the number of financial decisions they had to make and wanted help to identify and avoid financial landmines
- Managing their investments felt like a second job that and they wanted to delegate investment management responsibilities
How we’ve helped:
- After a goals discussion and review of their personal finances, we provided guidance on how to use their cash reserves to establish a solid foundation to begin working toward goals.
- We took over investment management responsibilities - saving them time and improving efficiency with investments.
- We helped them consolidate investments to simplify their accounts and implement a household asset allocation strategy.
Dan told us that working with us has allowed him not to feel over-saturated with personal financial decisions and to-do’s, giving him the breathing room to focus on providing better patient care and ultimately be a better physician.
“I like to do a lot of things DIY...but this is so much easier, it’s so much better to have someone who is a professional on your side walking you through this.” - Dan Maxwell
