Our Financial Planning Principles

As a woman planning for retirement on your own—whether by choice, following a divorce, or after the loss of a spouse—you deserve a financial advisor who is willing to listen first, then help you craft a plan that reflects your values and goals. At Blake Wealth Management, we understand that your financial decisions are shaped by a lifetime of experiences, and our planning principles are designed to honor those experiences while guiding you toward the future you envision.

Every Successful Retirement Starts with a Purposeful Plan

Your retirement is not just a financial event; it’s the beginning of a new journey. We work with you to define what success looks like—from maintaining financial independence to supporting family or causes close to your heart. Then, we craft a flexible plan that reflects those unique goals. See our Investing Principles.

Planning-Focused, Because Life Is About More Than Investments

While many firms lead with insurance or investments, we focus on comprehensive planning. Because every decision—Social Security timing, taxes, income strategies—affects the others. We take the full view so you can feel confident in every step.

Adaptive Plans for Life’s Changing Realities

Your plan will change as your life does. Whether you face unexpected health changes, become a caregiver, or adapt to widowhood, we adjust your financial strategy together—ensuring it always reflects where you are today.

We Control the Things We Can Control

We will not pretend to know which way the market will go next as there are no facts about the future. We believe in controlling what we can control. That is, the amount we save, how long we give our savings to grow, our asset allocation, our behavior, and how we plan for various risks. These are what will ultimately determine your success.

Prepare for What Can Go Wrong; Invest for What Can Go Right

Even the absolute best investment portfolio can be undone if you are unprepared for life’s what-ifs. A few examples might include an unexpected death, health issues, accidents, lawsuits, or becoming disabled. Planning for and insuring against these risks allows us to invest for all that can go right. We cannot control what happens to us, so it is imperative that we are prepared for each of these possibilities.

Good Planning Has a Long-Time Horizon

We view every client relationship as a lifelong partnership. This is a significant advantage because our single objective is to provide advice that will (hopefully) result in accomplishing your multi-decade goals, and we expect to walk with you every step of the way.

Through our collaborative approach and values-driven planning, we aim to empower you not only to secure your financial future but to embrace the retirement lifestyle you envision. Together, we’ll help you pursue what’s most meaningful to you—with clarity, confidence, and peace of mind.
