Life is a Nine Inning Game
Some people think life is a game. They think you should make up your own rules and play by them. That’s how to get ahead in life.
I prefer a different framework. Life is a nine inning game. Yeah, like baseball. Each inning brings different challenges. Some innings are long. Some are short. Some are painful. Some are filled with joy. Some have too many pitching changes, making the game an hour too long and causing you to be exhausted at work the next day.
No two people have the same journey. Some make it to the end, some don’t make it out of the early innings.
1st inning: Age 0-19
2nd inning: Age 20-29
3rd inning: Age 30-39
4th inning: Age 40-49
5th inning: Age 50-59
6th inning: Age 60-69
7th inning: Age 70-79
8th inning: Age 80-89
9th inning: Age 90+
Most people think they’ll to make it to the end of the game. But do they really plan? Imagine yourself in the ninth inning of your life:
What does it look like?
Did you spend your time how you envisioned?
Are you prepared for the health challenges and expenses that come with age?
Did you save and invest enough?
Did you plan for all this before it was too late?
To answer all these, you need a “nine inning finance” strategy.
At Nine Inning Finance, I offer three services:
30-Minute Virtual Consultation. A one-time complimentary consultation, where everyone should start.
Designed to answer any pressing financial questions you have, using the information you input from the Elements app as a guide. We’ll review your Elements financial health scorecard to see if you’re on the right track. If you are interested in teaming with me further, we can explore my other services during the consultation.
The Clubhouse. An annual membership.
The process beings with your 9th inning in mind. I want Clubhouse members to think intentionally about their life and be prepared when the final inning comes around. I also focus on your 1st inning. I want to learn about the money scripts you picked up in your youth: from your parents, grandparents or loved ones. How do these beliefs about money affect your relationship with money today?
This on-going relationship includes access to a CFP® professional for all meetings, emails, calls and texts.
Limited memberships available.
Portfolio Scouting Report. A one-time, tailored review of your finances.
Like a traditional scouting report in sports, Portfolio Scouting Report is a framework to summarize, clarify and reflect on your financial strengths and opportunities. Get a financial second opinion from an advice-only CFP® professional. It’s a quick and seamless process to build a strong foundation, identify areas to improve and ultimately, to gain confidence in your finances.
Life is a nine inning game, and I want to make sure the people I team with make it to the end. Whether we team up once or many times over the years, let's win the nine inning game.
