Sometimes models are off balance simply because there is no accountability. In today's Better Wealth Episode of ‘From the 'Frontlines’  where Jereme and I discuss another case study and give examples of how we are serving people on the frontlines. In today’s case study we discuss tax advantage pension plans for Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Listen as Jereme describes the process of making decisions doesn’t start with working forward with where you are now, but rather “taking a step back” so we can look down the road to discover your why so you can build a framework of where you want to go...then plan because we started with the end in mind. Listen as we discuss how Mr. & Mrs. Smith’s model was off balance at first glance. Sometimes models are off balance simply because there is no accountability, but once there was accountability see how we discovered thousands of dollars they were not even aware of in their tax advantage pension plan. #BetterWealth📞 Free 15 Minute Clarity Call: https://bttr.ly/ytclarity📕 The And Asset Book: https://bttr.ly/book💸 BetterWealth Quiz: https://bttr.ly/quiz👪 AndAsset.com: https://bttr.ly/andasset🎥 BetterWealth Youtube - https://bttr.ly/bwyoutube🤵🏼 Financial Advisor, Agent or Coach: https://bttr.ly/advisor
