Taylor Venanzi is a fee-only financial planner at Activate Wealth located in Philadelphia, PA.
Born and raised just outside of Philadelphia in Collingswood, NJ, I attended Penn State University and obtained a bachelor’s degree in Finance. After gaining valuable experience at a local planning firm in New Jersey, it became clear to me that I wanted to venture out on my own and create a business that was tailored to a younger client. There is no shortage of financial decisions we face early in our careers.
While many planners and firms set out to serve “Individuals, Families, and Small Business Owners”, I created Activate Wealth to work directly with Young Professionals. After realizing how under served this client demographic really was, I made it my mission to serve them effectively.
"How much house can I afford?" "How do I properly invest in the market?" "Which debt should I pay down first?" "Do I need insurance for me and my family?" "How do I pay less in taxes?"
Why should we wait until retirement before we get access to professional advice? It doesn’t make any sense!
