You worked hard to create financial freedom. We help you turn it into more time, meaningful experiences, generosity, and confidence – while also protecting tomorrow.
Sweet Life Financial Planning helps people approaching retirement organize the pieces, understand what their money makes possible, and make thoughtful decisions about the years ahead.
We believe Time is more valuable than Money.
Every single day precious time is slipping away. Money can be earned and spent, but time only moves in one direction. If you want to create more time making memories with the people you love and the freedom to spend your days more intentionally, you’re in the right place. Our driving force is to help you create the best life possible with the resources you have.
As retirement gets closer, the questions change. The challenge is no longer simply how to accumulate more. It is understanding how the pieces work together – and what they allow you to do.
- Can I retire earlier than expected?
- How much can I spend each year?
- Can we travel more, buy a second home, or help our family?
- Are we paying more in taxes than we should?
- What happens if my spouse passes away?
- Am I saving enough? I don’t want to miss out on experiences, but I am worried about the future.
These are not simply investment planning questions. They deserve a plan built around all aspects of your life.
The art is understanding who you are, family dynamics, your priorities, what motivates you and what you truly love. No software can decide what ‘enough’ means to you or whether another year of work is worth the time it costs. We believe having a human-to-human conversation is still the best way to understand your story.
The science determines what is possible. After gathering all the essential data, we model annual cash flow, evaluate taxes, design retirement income, manage investments, review estate and insurance needs, and test important decisions. The science of financial planning is mostly done in the background, but behind every recommendation is an incredible amount of technical work.
“A technically strong plan isn’t enough if it is built around the wrong life. A meaningful vision isn’t enough if the numbers don’t support it. Great planning requires both.”

We do our best work with people who have built meaningful wealth and are ready to use it well. Our best clients value family, experiences, generosity, and time more than status. They want a thoughtful long-term relationship, not stock tips or a quick transaction.
Getting started is simple.
Small by design. Personal on purpose.
Sweet Life is locally owned and independent. Our team is intentionally small so clients work with people who know their names, understand their stories, and remember what matters.
Behind that relationship is the technology, research, and support of RFG Advisory – providing the resources of a larger organization without losing the human experience.
Your money should work just as hard to improve your life as you worked to earn it.
You have spent years building your financial life. The next step is understanding how to use it with greater purpose, confidence, and joy.
