MY Wealth Management is a fiduciary financial planning firm dedicated to helping retirees and those nearing retirement navigate the complexities of their financial future with clarity and confidence. Our mission is simple: to provide expert guidance, personalized strategies, and a straightforward approach to ensure your retirement is secure, tax-efficient, and aligned with your long-term goals. Our Process: A Hands-On, Personalized Approach Retirement planning isn't a one-size-fits-all process, which is why we take the time to understand your unique situation before offering recommendations. Our Free Retirement Evaluation is the first step in getting to know you and identifying opportunities that can enhance your retirement strategy. Here's what to expect: 1. Understanding Your Financial Picture - We review your current assets, income sources, and retirement savings to get a clear view of where you stand. 2. Retirement Income Planning - We analyze how to turn your savings into a steady, reliable paycheck that lasts throughout your retirement. 3. Tax-Efficient Strategies - We explore ways to help lower your tax burden in retirement, including Roth conversions, tax-efficient withdrawals, and minimizing Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs). 4. Investment "Retirement Readiness" - We help assess whether your portfolio is structured to support your retirement goals while managing risk and volatility. Our process is designed to be informative, pressure-free, and built around your needs as an opportunity to gain clarity and see if we're the right fit for you. https://my-wealthmgmt.com/get-your-free-evaluation You wouldn't see an eye doctor for heart issues - making sure your retirement is handled by the right expert is just as important. Who We Work Best With At MY Wealth Management, we specialize in working with individuals and couples who are aged 50+ and either approaching retirement or already retired. We've found that the people who benefit most from our services typically share the following characteristics: - You have $500,000 or more in investable assets (excluding real estate) and want a clear strategy to make the most of your wealth in retirement. - You're looking for a fiduciary advisor - someone who always acts in your best interest, rather than pushing products or unnecessary services. - You're concerned about taxes in retirement and want to explore strategies to minimize their impact on your wealth. - You value professional guidance and want a trusted partner to help you make informed financial decisions. Does This Sound Like You? - You've worked hard to build your savings, but you're not sure how to turn that money into a reliable income stream. - You're concerned about market downturns and want to protect your wealth from unnecessary risk. - You're hearing conflicting advice about tax strategies, Social Security, or RMDs and want to cut through the noise. If this resonates with you, our Free Retirement Evaluation is the perfect next step. Let's take the guesswork out of retirement so you can focus on what truly matters - enjoying life with confidence. https://my-wealthmgmt.com/get-your-free-evaluation

Scarborough Capital Management was founded on the belief that everyone deserves access to high quality financial advice.
In the late 1980’s, many financial firms were focused on serving the wealthy. Scarborough set out to provide something different. We wanted to offer a service that was practical for everyone, not just a small percentage of the population. So we introduced 401(k), 403(b) and Thrift Savings Plan management services to American workers in the heartland.
Soon after, we broadened our scope to offer comprehensive financial planning, so we could help clients simplify their entire financial lives.
Our evolution didn’t stop there. Several years later, we saw that our clients were busy and often didn’t have time to drive to our offices for meetings. So we were one of the first firms to offer “virtual” advisory services. This allowed us to begin serving people from coast to coast.
Fast forward to the present day…while we’ve expanded, we’ve remained a close-knit team of professional advisors with a lot of shared history. Everyone on our team shares a passion for providing practical advice so you have the best chance of reaching your goals.
Most importantly, we have adhered to our founding beliefs:
Thirty years later, we now oversee more than $1 billion in assets. We’re incredibly honored to serve as a trusted partner for so many individuals and families.

I take a client-first approach focused on helping my clients navigate through the complex and emotional financial decisions that surround their lives. I concentrate on doing three things for my clients and ask one in return. I help them: - Simplify their financial lives - Generate the necessary returns and income to sustain the lifestyle they desire now and in retirement - Build a legacy for the ones they love and the things they care about. What I ask in return: should my clients have a question on anything financial, I expect to be the first phone call.

Fiduciary financial advisors provide their client the highest quality of care while maintaining 'good faith', meaning they wouldn't act in favor of anyone else's interests, including their own. The best way to be certain that a financial advisor is a fiduciary is to simply ask. Learn more about what is a fiduciary financial advisor.
