“Joy is wealth” is our tagline and core belief. You might expect ideas like this from a spiritual counselor. We’re not spiritual counselors. We’re financial advisors who understand that joy – by which we mean lasting happiness – is true wealth.
What if we have it backwards?
Conventional wisdom is that wealth brings joy. Work hard, save well, invest wisely — happiness follows.
But what if cause and effect point the other way?
What if joy is true wealth?
A different kind of abundance
“Joy is wealth” turns conventional wisdom on its head. It suggests that lasting meaning and happiness aren't what money buys. They're what money should serve.
This isn't about rejecting financial security. You've worked for your resources. You value them.
It's about recognizing what those resources are for.
Beyond the balance sheet
Material wealth opens doors. It provides comfort, security, and options. These matter.
But the wealth that fulfills our soul — the kind that remains when markets fall or external circumstances turn — lies in:
• Activities that feel purposeful
• Relationships that nourish
• Connectedness to nature and Earth
This is wealth that compounds across a lifetime and beyond.
Money as means, not end
When we approach financial planning with this understanding, everything shifts.
Your portfolio becomes a means to support what brings you alive. Your estate plan becomes an expression of what matters most. Your retirement isn't just an exit strategy—it's a doorway to the next meaningful chapter.
For those who know there's more
If you've read this far, you probably sense this truth. You've achieved a level of financial comfort, yet you know that's not the end of the story.
Maybe you're a social activist who wants your resources to align with your values. Maybe you're a spiritual seeker who's found that inner wealth and outer wealth need not conflict—they can support each other.
You understand that the purpose of wealth isn't simply to accumulate more of it.
Living the philosophy
This philosophy shapes how we work together. We don't just manage assets. We explore questions like:
• What brings you genuine fulfillment?
• Where do your resources and your values intersect?
• How can your financial life support a life worth living?
• What legacy do you want to create?
These are questions that call for reflection and deliberation. Not yes and no.
An invitation
“Joy is wealth” offers a lens for seeing differently.
It's an invitation to put first things first—to let your financial decisions flow from what truly matters rather than the other way around.
When you do this, something remarkable happens. You don't have less. You have more of what actually counts.
That's wealth worth building.
