Financial Life Planning is the art or human side of Financial Planning. It is a holistic approach that leads with the you, not the money. Through our EVOKE® process, we discover your deepest goals and aspirations.

Financial Life Planning

In Financial Life Planning we discover your deepest and most profound goals through a mindfulness-based process of structured and non-judgmental inquiry. 

Then, using a mix of professional and advanced relationship skills, we inspire you to pursue your aspirations, discuss and resolve obstacles, create a concrete financial plan, and provide ongoing guidance as you accomplish your objectives.

In my mind, I can't be a real fiduciary until I know you. Financial Life Planning is Financial Planning done right.

Investment Management

I develop portfolios that are tailored to your goals, dreams, and level of risk you are comfortable with. I can help you manage your existing investments or design a portfolio from scratch.

Most Financial Planners, Financial Advisors and Investment Professionals only work with you if they invest your money, and a lot of it. Modern Wealth is different! If you choose to manage your own portfolio, while utilizing us for Financial Life Planning, that is fine too!

Hi, I'm Alan Rhode, the Founder and CEO of Modern Wealth LLC, the publisher of Live Wealthy Blog and Founder of the Live Wealthy Society.  

I'm an active and proud Member of the CFP Board, Penn State Alumni Association, XY Planning Network (XYPN), National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA), the Fee Only Network, and Business Networking International (BNI).

With over a decade of experience, I've helped good people and families achieve what's most important to them at prestigious firms such as Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, and Goldman Sachs. I have also been featured and quoted in publications such as The Philadelphia Inquirer, The New York Times, MarketWatch, ABC, NBC, Fox News, Markets Insider, XY Planning Network, The Fee Only Network, PR Newswire and Ask.com. 

I earned my Bachelor's of Science degree in Finance from Penn State University and satisfied my CFP education requirement through the American College of Financial Services. I plan to continue my education by earning the Investments and Wealth Institute's Certified Private Wealth Advisor® advanced designation and The Kinder Institute of Life Planning's Registered Life Planner® designation. 

In my free time, I enjoy amateur autocross racing, Philadelphia sports, softball, racquetball, working out, the beach, and spending time with my family and friends. They are everything to me.

Modern Wealth LLC

Financial Life Planning is the art or human side of Financial Planning. It is a holistic approach that leads with the you, not the money. Through our EVOKE® process, we discover your deepest goals and aspirations. 

You have dreams for your life that are closely guarded and beliefs about money and your own talents that are unexamined. Those beliefs often frustrate the most well-intentioned financial planning process.

Traditional Financial Planners are more comfortable talking about investments, retirement and have little exposure to the human side of money. Through advanced training as a Registered Life Planner®, I am able to connect the dots between your financial realities and the life you long to live. This ensures that the Financial Plan is intimately connected to the life you most desire.

Our EVOKE® process is truly beautiful and we would love to take you through it. If you're ready to begin, great! Please go ahead and schedule an Intro Call.
