Gordon Smith, CLU, ChFC and Timothy Neary are Senior Financial Specialists with First Financial Group in Maryland. Together their practice has a specialized focus to provide financial direction to the families of those working and stationed at Aberdeen Proving Grounds.

Today individuals and families are beset by an overwhelming set of financial circumstances. Most people go through their
lives making financial decisions as they go along without any real plan. This results in a multitude of negative outcomes:

1. Not accumulating enough money for retirement 2. Losing wealth to debt
3. Ineffective Tax Strategies
4. Inadequate Protection
5. Unnecessary High Risk
6. Not Living within a Budget
7. Insufficient Annual Savings
8. Low Overall Return

Through the processes available from First Financial Group Gordon and Tim assist clients by prioritizing their financial
decision making, organizing their strategies and building a plan based on efficiency rather than increased risk taking.

Achieving A Wide Angle View
Traditional balance sheets help determine net worth by subtracting Liabilities from Assets. What makes The Living Balance Sheet different and potentially very beneficial is the addition of Protection and Cash Flow analysis into the same view. For the first time, The Living Balance Sheet brings these four critical domains together. This creates a wide angle view in order to 'stress test' all products and strategies.

2. Having It All Work Together
Having It All Work Together
By monitoring changes in Assets, Liabilities and Cash Flow, The Living Balance Sheet may improve overall performance, minimize the impact of debt and taxes, and enhance lifestyle. The Living Balance Sheet will help you maintain optimal Protection against unexpected life events. This holistic approach will help achieve and maintain a new level of 'financial balance', which is one of the benefits of The Living Balance Sheet.

3. A Digital Storage Facility for Records


The Vault
The highly secure facility stores and protects copies of highly valuable personal documents, irreplaceable photos, videos, and family histories.
