Should we focus on retirement or college first?

Usually both, with thoughtful sequencing. Sarah helps families balance these together rather than treating them as either/or.

What kind of protection do new parents need?

Most families benefit from a review of life and disability income protection, especially after a child arrives.

What about 529 plans?

Education savings options like 529 plans can play an important role. Sarah helps families evaluate the right fit.

How often should families review the plan?

At least annually, and any time there's a meaningful change — a new child, a job change, a move, or a new financial goal.
