Kevin Mahoney, CFP® is a fee-only financial advisor in Washington, DC. He is the founder & CEO of Illumint, which offers virtual financial planning specifically for Millennial couples. He specializes in navigating the new financial decisions that arise during our late 20s and 30s as we try to repay student loans, buy a house, invest our savings, and prepare for kids. Kevin, who is married with two young boys, holds meetings (via video chat) at off-hours so that these conversations can wait until after work deadlines, date nights, and bath time. You can schedule a meeting with Kevin here to start getting help with your student loans, budget, and savings options as soon as this week.
When my wife and I were expecting our first child a few years ago, many of our initial conversations revolved around personal finance. Can we make student loans payments and save for college? How should we fit child care into our budget? And at what point might we want to buy a new house?
Fortunately, I had a background in finance, so we had a head start on some of these questions. But even so, we still put a lot of effort into researching different acronyms, tax strategies, and companies. I figured that my life was about to get more hectic, and I was concerned that tasks likes these would cut into the limited time I had for date nights and playgrounds.
I often thought, if I had these feelings – even with an MBA in finance – how much more stressed must other people my age be? I realized that I had the ability to offer our generation an uncommon alternative: a financial planning company that’s actually designed for us. Welcome to the Illumint financial community.
