FREQUENTLY ASKED

The questions most people ask.

How do I know which tier is right for me?

The fastest way is the Tax-Smart Retirement Stage Assessment. It takes less than 5 minutes and places you in one of seven stages. Each stage has a clear best-fit offering. If you'd rather talk through it directly, start with a free Freedom to Enjoy Life and Retirement Strategy session.

 

Can I move between tiers later?

Yes. Most clients move up the ladder over time as their stage changes. A Foundation Wisdom member typically graduates to Partnered. A Partnered client may move to Concierge as estate complexity grows. There's no contract or commitment beyond month-to-month.

 

I already have a financial advisor. Do I need this?

Maybe. Most advisors are good at managing money. Portfolios, risk, rebalancing. Most are not tax-smart retirement income planners, which is a different skill. If your advisor can clearly answer questions like "What's my Roth conversion strategy for the next 5 years?" or "How are we coordinating my plan with my CPA?", you're in good hands. If the answers are vague, you may have a planning gap. The Wealthy Retirement Plan is a strategy document, not simply a portfolio management plan. 

 

Why is Foundation Wisdom recommended for clients with $100K+?

It's not a hard minimum, it's where the value typically outweighs the cost. This can also work if you are in a position to contribute consistently to your Wealthy Retirement Plan.

What's the difference between the Wealthy Retirement Plan and ongoing tiers?

The Wealthy Retirement Plan is a one-time engagement that produces a written strategy document. After the plan is delivered, you decide what comes next: run with it yourself, move into Foundation Wisdom for investment management, or join Partnered or Concierge Wisdom for ongoing strategic work. Most plan clients choose Partnered because the strategy is actively maintained year-by-year as life and tax law change.

 

Are you a fiduciary?

Yes. 100% of the time, on every recommendation. Obsidian Wisdom is a registered investment advisor. We don't take commissions. We don't sell products designed by other firms. We work for you, not the casino.
