<body> Nashoba Financial Planning, Boxborough,MA<p> Life-Integrated Financial Planning...Helping You Fit the Pieces Together You likely have several financial planning pieces in place—you pay taxes, invest at least a portion of your savings, have some insurance, and maybe you have done some estate planning and retirement planning, but chances are each of these pieces was developed independently and at different times in your life. Is it any surprise then that you’re unsure if you’re on the right track and making all the progress you could be? To be effective, financial planning needs to be coordinated. Each piece of the financial plan needs to accomplish its own specific tasks as well as support the tasks of each other piece. We call this life-integrated financial planning, and we are experts in this area. We’ll look at your entire financial picture and help you fit the pieces together properly. We'll ask you lots of questions, including: What does your ideal life look like? Read more about Goal Setting Do you know where your money goes each month?

How do you decide whether to buy an individual stock, a mutual fund, treasuries, commodities, or just leave your money in your savings account? What are the costs and tax implications of the investments you select? Which types of investments should you hold in your retirement accounts instead of your brokerage accounts? When is the right time to sell an investment? How do you sort through the conflicting advice you read in magazines and on the Internet? It’s enough to make your head spin. Some people handle it with an investment strategy of putting small amounts in many different investments to make sure they’ve covered all the bases. Others put the majority of their assets in one or two places rather than deal with yet another investment decision they’re not sure of. Does this sound familiar? Given this complexity, many people want professional investment advice. But who is in the best position to offer you unbiased recommendations? Do you want someone advising you who is paid based on whether or not you purchase the investment he or she recommends? Many people don’t understand what their investments are or what they should be doing. In a well-constructed portfolio, each investment should fulfill a specific function and should be appropriate for your unique situation. Your portfolio will work harder for you when it contains the investments and uses investment strategies that have been selected based on your needs. As fee-only financial advisors, we will provide you with the objective, unbiased investment recommendations you need to make the best investment decisions.
