I would say it's the exact same. The only difference I find with single clients is it's very hard to do a full financial plan since they don't really seem to have long term goals. Without kids, no expenses to plan for etc.

What about engaged couples? Or newly married couples? When does it become easier to look at a long term picture?

The moment anyone is engaged I HIGHLY recommend setting up a financial plan with frum.finance It's an ongoing relationship and you need to get off on the right foot and start learning fundamental principles. I have a whole program for engaged couples I go through and then regular followups after the wedding which then turned into a semi annual follow-up.

A single person that does have long term goals though should absolutely set up a thorough financial plan. If you plan to travel the world regardless of family details, we need to start planning for that.
If a single person doesn’t have any long term goals, I think if they max out their Roth IRA every year then for 99% of people that should be enough of a go, but I am still happy to do a financial plan with them regardless!

What’s the pricing structure for it @mysterious-tomato-10057

We don’t charge for any services but we gladly accept donations 🙂 Now that we are purchasing real industry standard software and expanding we are going to need those donations! haha.

I think most single people should have long term goals. Younger ones do hope to marry and have kids in the future and it probably makes sense to start saving today.

I agree that young people should have long term goals. I’m just pointing out that so far that seem to not. But I also in general don’t like telling people to save for a child that doesn’t exist yet when they aren’t married. But I’ll tell them to save for retirement or travel or starting a business
