    Long term care alternatives
  2. An investment plan

    Specific account recommendations – Roth IRA, 529 plan, etc. (Guidance through the account / product maze)

Additional Information

Sensible Financial's philosophy:

  • Financial planning is conceptually very simple – our services are straightforward 
  • People should invest to transfer spending power from when they earn it to when they need it, not to try to get rich 
  • Investment returns are unpredictable and risky
  • Investment risk is best managed by diversification
  • The most certain way to increase investment returns is to keep investment costs low. Therefore:
    1. We recommend low cost index funds exclusively
    2. Our asset management fees are low
