Financial Planning Profiles

Many people never seem to find the time for financial planning. It sounds like something that can take weeks or months to put together. In fact, it takes only minutes to get the process started. You already know your present financial situation and your dreams for the future. We have designed the following profiles to help you get ideas on how you might get from here to there. We are here to assist you with your financial planning.
     

Can you believe how time flies? It seems like just yesterday we got married and started our family. And now we’re always on the go – soccer practice – work – piano lessons. It’s hard to find the time to sit down to a family meal, let alone assess our financial picture. But, we know that we want our daughter to be able to attend any college she chooses. So, we took a few minutes the other night to use the Tuition Calculator & got a chart showing us what we need to save today to have the money we will need. We also did some preliminary calculations with the Retirement Calculator and now, with automatic deductions of $25.00 from our checking account to our investment account, we know we’re on the right track. We still have more to do, but at least this is a start.


 
Wow, would you look at this view! We can’t seem to get enough of this traveling. Just hop in the motor home and go where life takes us. We saved all our lives for this and now it’s time to enjoy. They always say, "You never know what tomorrow will bring". Well, isn't that the truth. That’s why we took the time to make an appointment with our bank’s Investment Management Representative to talk about Estate Planning, Living Trusts, Long Term Care, and Asset Management. We feel much more secure knowing that we are still in control of our assets and our future goals for ourselves and our children. Now we’ll put the worrying behind us.
   
They say time is money. As a single parent, I’d like more of both. I value time savers Ohnward's banks provide, such as online banking, ATM/Debit cards, automatic deductions for savings accounts and loan payments, and my free checking. I used the tuition calculator to set up a savings plan for Brian. I also signed up for the 401(k) and Cafeteria plan at work. The Retirement Calculator helped me plan for life after diapers. I like the fact that I can ask those "Why" questions myself, day or night, by talking to my local Investment Management Representative by e-mail, phone or a visit to the bank.
   
My first job – wow! It’s time to start earning money rather than spending it on books, tuition, and late night pizzas. Well, I won’t give up the pizzas just yet. Now where do I go from here? I’ve decided to set aside a little bit from each paycheck to a savings account. I’ve logged onto the Ohnward Bank web sites to check out my options for free banking and investment advice and signed up for my free payroll checking account. Making my loan payment and paying other bills is so simple with Online banking. I am able to keep a close eye on how every paycheck is spent. I met with the LPL Representative and found out about Roth IRA’s and the many mutual fund options available to me. I plan on investing as aggressively as I can so that I can start my own business someday – who knows, maybe even a pizza place!
   


We have been renting ever since we got married. We had both worked and saved before we met, but we weren’t sure if we had enough down payment for our first home. With a visit to our local bank, we found out about the special loan programs and down payment options available to us. We visited the local online real estate listings and used the "How much house can you afford" calculator. That helped us put together a budget of our monthly expenses and come up with an amount we felt we could manage. We want to continue to save for the future and the investment advice we got from the LPL broker gave us a head start. By working with Ohnward’s banks, real estate agents, LPL brokers, and insurance agents we are able to find all of our financial solutions under one roof. You could say they helped put a roof over our heads.
