Strategic Wealth Partners Hosts 4th Annual Women, Wealth & Wisdom: Your Prosperity Picture

More than 70 women gathered for our 4th Annual Women, Wealth & Wisdom luncheon at Northmoor Country Club in Highland Park in November. It was an honor to have Lisa Kueng from Invesco present ‘Your Prosperity Picture,’ an activity that she and Ellen Rogin developed based on their book, Picture Your Prosperity.

“Our goal has been to present new ideas to help you become centered and confident with the direction of your lives – financial and otherwise,” SWP Principal Ashley Bebeau, CFP®, explained. This past year, the ‘Your Prosperity Picture’ exercise allowed the attendees the opportunity to visualize the direction of their lives in a very tangible way.

The activity began with the attendees creating their vision by viewing a series of pictures and placing them on a board divided into four quadrants: more money, less money, sooner in life, and later in life. This exercise allowed the group to visualize their dreams and the direction of their personal and financial lives. With the vision defined, Kueng guided the guests through steps to help bring each picture into reality.

We are thankful to everyone who attended the event. We hope that it was an informative and insightful beginning to ‘Your Prosperity Picture.’

Recently though, more and more people are shifting their perspective on passing down their wealth from an inheritance-focused view to a more immediate, experience-focused one. Instead of saving every available dollar for their estate, people are using some of those assets to fund unforgettable family vacations, meaningful experiences with friends, and other memories that last a lifetime. People are also investing in their loved one’s lives while living, offering to contribute more to wedding costs, housing down payments, and business funding.

Investing a Large Cash Inflow: All at Once or “Spread It Out”?
At some point in your life, you may be faced with managing a large cash inflow. Selling a business, collecting a deferred compensation payout, and receiving an inheritance are a few of the most common reasons. Regardless of the source of this money, you will have to decide what to do with it. It’s an age-old investing debate: should I invest the cash all at once, or stage into the market over time?
