Q: What did you like most about our system?

A: We liked the system because it provided us with honest feedback specific to not only our current financial standing but to what was most important to our total future. When looking for guidance financially, it was far too easy to overlook what our true goals are. The system looks beyond the numbers and seeks to provide stability for our family at all levels. The system provides invaluable guidance, however, as with anything that is revered, the system puts the responsibility on the individuals driving it so that they may take ownership for their personal future.

Q: What was your greatest insight from the system?

A: We knew that we were not fully on the path to the financial future we sought. The system provided us with options not commonly known that made great sense for us. On our own, we would have never considered the path the system provided.

Q: What would you tell others about our system?

A: Don't wait! It's never too early to start planning for success. The rewards that can be reaped from the successful implementation of the system are limitless. The biggest concern many people have is that they will have to sacrifice everything in the present to have a stable future. The system proves that this is simply not true. The system stresses that happiness and success, both in the present and future, are equally valued.

Q: What was your experience with the Balanced Living System?

A: For our particular case, just having a "system" in place was reassuring, guiding, and enlightening. After 40 years of marriage we had developed systems of our own however vague, but they weren't dealing well with todays financial environment and we were feeling ill-equipped to make current decisions. Our coach (Richard) demonstrated a strategy for navigating untested and unaddressed financial and personal issues that we could then take home and implement into our every day life.

We welcomed the education to update our perception of financial well- being. We had never lived a conventional life-style with jobs that would provide a retirement pension or the career attitude that would take precedence over how we chose to live. Reaching mid-life did become a crisis due to lack of investment savvy so the educational systems offered to take advantage of the opportunities represented and Richard's close follow-up of our implementation of the system, were well-timed and well-received.

Q: What would you recommend to others?

A: If we could say one thing as recommendation for this program it would be the integration of all aspects of ones life - personal and financial - and the importance of knowing this.
