How Organized Is Your Financial Life?

 

Your financial life can feel complex, especially when accounts, investments, and decisions accumulate over time. Our 7-Question Financial Checkup Score is a quick way to assess how organized and prepared you are across the key areas of your financial picture. It takes less than a minute and highlights where you’re strong — and where a conversation may help bring more clarity and confidence to your plan.


How to Score Your Checkup

For each question, give yourself:

2 points — Yes, this is in place and current

1 point — Somewhat, but it may need attention

0 points — No, or I’m not sure

What Your Score May Mean


11–14 Points: Well Organized

You have many important pieces of your financial life in place. Now may be a good time to review how these areas work together and identify opportunities to strengthen your long-term strategy.


6–10 Points: Making Progress
You have started building a foundation, but some areas may need additional attention. A coordinated wealth plan can help bring more structure, clarity, and direction to your financial life.

You may have several areas that would benefit from review. Starting with a financial checkup can help you organize what you have, identify priorities, and take meaningful steps toward a more confident future.
