"It begins with a simple three step equation"
How Does It Work?
My mission is not just work on your finances, because that won’t get you there - it's to give you the tools needed for greater freedom and choices in your life.
It begins with a simple, three-step equation:
First, we’ll determine your Numbers - your Expenses, Income, Savings Percentage, and how much you have in savings and investments.
Second, we’ll equip you with Operating Principles needed to get you there - how to redefine your relationships with Money, Work and the people in your life that will support you along the way.
Third, you’ll gain Investing Awareness - including Basic Financial Education such as Compound Interest, Asset Allocation and Risk Tolerance.
By starting today, you’ll immediately begin to make changes that give you more resources and confidence in the here and now.
Our approach will help you gain incremental security as we work toward the final goal of a future on your terms. A future when you can Opt-out of work and do whatever you want, when you want.
"More clarity, peace of mind and the confidence of knowing that you're in control of your future"
Digging Deeper
When you have the option of leaving your job when you decide to… to do what you want, when you want for the rest of your life, you’ll have achieved the ability to OPT-out. To do so, you’ll will need to be able to live off of the income generated from your savings and investments.
If that sounds unattainable to you right now, that’s only because you don’t have the guidance needed to make it happen. Like everything else in life, it’s a choice.
You don’t have to live in debt, or paycheck to paycheck, or even work until you’re 105. You only need to have the desire to learn new skills, let go of some old ways of thinking, develop some new habits and have the discipline to get it done. And you don’t have to do it alone.
During our OPT-out coaching sessions, you’ll discover how you want your life to play out. To do that, we’ll look closely at the relationships you have with money, work, and the people that support you. Then, we’ll work together to write the story that matches your vision.
We'll dig into your numbers to create the data points we need. Completing this analysis will give you the unique opportunity to determine your exact OPT-out date… which will be entirely up to you.
Then, we’ll build an OPT-out plan based on you, and give you the tools and guidance to execute it. Having these steps in place brings more clarity, peace of mind and the confidence of knowing that you’re in control of your future. And you won’t have to wait until you achieve OPT-out status to reap the benefits of this journey.
Your OPT-out plan will include gratifying milestones along the way. We’ll set short term savings goals to cover your expenses for a few months. Then you’ll see a few months of savings evolve into many months of saved security to cover you expenses regardless of your circumstances.
As your momentum grows, you will find yourself empowered by the freedom of choice earned by your new found independence. You’ll find yourself in a position to change your job, career, where you live… anything you want or need to do in the service of reaching your goals.
While going down the OPT-out path you’ll learn how to grow the money you’ve saved by maximizing the value of your portfolio. You’ll discover important investment concepts like compound interest, asset allocation, risk tolerance, retirement savings accounts and much more. And in your OPT-out coaching sessions, all of these concepts will become easy to pick up and implement.
Stepping up to this challenge feels extremely rewarding. Building the knowledge and confidence to wisely and effectively invest your savings will pay literally with life-long and life-living dividends. And believe it or not, we’ll have some fun along the way.
OPTing-out means stacking the cards in your favor… and not just financially. It’s about realizing the lifestyle you desire… to do what you want, when you want, on your own terms.
"It was learning how to save - the mentality and behaviors needed, and the ins and outs of how to manage and grow our money:
self-determination with greater choices in our lives"
About Me
Both my wife and I have had fulfilling careers. We’ve been fortunate to work with fine and talented people in a variety of work experiences. We’re grateful that our combined incomes have covered our basic needs and put us in a position to continually save for the future. But it was learning how to save - the mentality and behaviors needed, and the ins and outs of how to manage and grow our money, that has given us what we want the most: self-determination with greater choices in our lives. For us, this means we could OPT-out; leave our jobs at a time of our choosing, do what we want, when we want.
It’s hard to describe the satisfaction we feel from having greater freedom and choices in our lives, and that’s why I’m so passionate about passing on my knowledge to others. It's not rocket science. All it takes is common sense, some new knowledge, and letting go of some habits and creating a few new ones.

What people are saying...
There is nothing quite like this service out there that I know of. Rian is helping me with a plan tailored to my needs. Yes, we are working on my personal finances, but also a lifestyle that reflects my values and principles. I’m learning so much and it feels like I'm really getting something accomplished.
Maria M.
Working with Rian has changed how I view my life in some very meaningful ways. First of all, I now have an
OPT-out plan and with it comes some peace of mind. I am comforted by knowing that if I continue down my current path I’ll be able to
OPT-out right on schedule.
