opportunities and fun, there doesn’t seem to be a dramatic correlation between lack of marital financial

fights and income. -Brandyn

What is it that causes financial conflict within a relationship?

◼ Not feeling fairly treated (whether true or not true)

◼ Lack of communication

◼ Different pain points (savings/ CC debt)

◼ Different long-term goals

Spending, how do couples work it out?

◼ Spender vs Saver

◼ Spender vs Saver

◼ Saver and Saver

Everyone has a pain threshold and usually it is different.

◼ $100k in savings

◼ $20k in savings

◼ $0 in savings

◼ $10,000 in CC debt

◼ $30,000 in CC debt

o When spouses have different pain points, they will likely feel financial tension.

In Behavioral Finance we study many of the subconscious views that

investors have towards investing and money. Often times these views can

negatively impact our decisions and ultimately our investment returns.

On this Through The Pines episode, we’ll dive into the following behavioral financial concepts:

  • Mental accounting
  • Familiarity Bias
  • Herd behavior
  • Emotional gap
  • Self-attribution
  • Confirmation Bias
  • Recency Bias
  • Loss Aversion
  • Anchoring

Welcome to a Financial Planning Podcast with a down to earth vibe Sasquatch listens while brushing his teeth, this is Through the Pines.

Our Advisors for this episode, we welcome back Rex Baxter and Brandyn Smith with planwithbaxter.com

Welcome to a Financial Planning Podcast with a down to earth vibe Sasquatch listens while paddle boarding, this is Through the Pines… On this episode we’ll chat when to change advisors

9 considerations when changing financial advisors:

  • Are you on track to accomplish your goals?
  • How will your retirement accounts work together with Social Security, Pension, ESOP, etc.?
  • How much risk are you taking in your investments and what is your target rate of return?
  • Have you reviewed your beneficiaries, and have you worked with your advisor on your estate plan to establish a trust, Power of Attorney, Health Care Directive, pour over will, etc.?
  • Will your advisor be able to see you through retirement or do they have succession plan in place to make sure you’re not looking for a new advisor in your 80’s.
  • Have you reviewed your insurance needs to prepare for the “what ifs?”
  • Do you know how your advisor gets paid?
  • Does your advisor make it easy to understand financial concepts?
  • Do you regularly meet with your advisor?

WHAT WE COVER

  • Do you ever see people in the wrong risk tolerances?
  • When is it time to adjust your portfolio?
