Getting There
One of the most challenging issues to balanced living begins with money. Whether it’s not enough or more than we need, money can become our focus and prevent us from living a happy and healthy balanced life.
Money is not your life. It is simply the means to the life you want.
If money is getting in the way of your life, join the conversation on Getting There. Yes, it is a money show, but the focus is on life. Because our lives are about much more than money, expect most of the show to center around living. In addition to money issues, the conversation will include gardening, cooking, books, travel, and interviews with guests from the financial field as well as chefs, gardeners, authors, and spiritual leaders.
Call with any questions you may have about your investing portfolio, but the answer will always be based on how the money will be used and how these decisions may affect your life.
