Build a helpful question

First of all, don’t worry! Advisors are great at helping you work through the process, so just start with what you’re feeling and go from there. Life changes often prompt new questions. If you just changed jobs, consider asking about what do do with a bonus or what to do with your old 401k? If you are about to get married, ask about the best ways to manage your money together or what to do with your separate accounts. Maybe you just got a puppy and want to know if pet insurance is a good idea? Are your investments going to give you the return you are hoping for? Take a moment to reflect on what you feel when the topic of money comes up, then ask the why or the how behind the feeling. We’re here to help, just take the first step and believe there is peace of mind on the other side.

Get honest answers to your financial questions.

We all have questions. Some are general, like, "How do I know if I'm saving enough for retirement?" Others are much more specific, like, "I'm getting ready to retire, should I take money from my 401k first or my Roth IRA?" Maybe the question is more about caring for an aging parent or saving for a child's college education. Whatever you're question, start here and we'll get a licensed financial professional to answer your question, no judgement, no commitment.

What happens next?

Our team connects with a licensed financial professional to respond to your question. It’s up to you where to go from there. You can continue the conversation or start planning on your own with OnTrajectory. When you’re ready you can ask another question to that same advisor, or ask someone new. You are in control. We only share what you want us to share.
