In the classic movie, “It’s a Wonderful Life” there is a very important conversation about money.
A despairing George Bailey, asks his guardian angel, Clarence, “You don’t happen to have $8,000 bucks on on you, do ya?” Clarence responds, “Oh no, we don’t use money in heaven.”
George replies, “Comes in pretty handy down here, bub!”

Steve Martin, the comedian, is quoted in this article, “Insecurity Analysis,” https://awealthofcommonsense.com/2025/03/insecurity-analysis/. He makes the crucial distinction between fame, success and the simple enjoyment of life.

Likewise, we believe that money should not be a source of stress for you.
Our “Life is More” philosophy is designed to provide you clear and straightforward financial advice and “pension-style” investment management so you can enjoy life more fully!
