Wealth is more than Money

Andrea L Collins

Andrea L Collins, VP Financial Consultant
Feeling and being wealthy is about much more than a bank account balance. It’s about choice, control, and clarity and also a social life, family, career balance and flexibility, experiences, and good health. Wealth is more about what dollars do for us and how we use them to achieve our financial and life goals with planning.
