What's Actually in a Financial Check-Up?

You get a yearly physical even when nothing feels wrong, because catching small issues early beats dealing with big ones later. Your finances deserve the same thing — and it takes about two minutes, not a whole afternoon.

The five vitals

A real financial check-up isn't a net-worth calculator or a budget tracker. It's a quick read on five specific vitals, the same ones a fee-only planner would ask about in a first conversation:

Each one gets a plain read — "just starting here," "building," or "strong" — not a raw score to obsess over. The pattern across all five, not any single answer, is what points to your actual priority.

Why two minutes is enough

You don't need six months of transaction history to know whether you have a safety net or whether high-interest debt is a real burden — you already know the honest answer to both. A check-up works because it asks the right five questions instead of demanding a mountain of data first.

What you get at the end

One of four priorities — Debt Payoff, Building Savings, Investing, or Optimization — plus the reasoning behind it, a concrete first action you can take today, and a three-step plan after that. No account required to see it.
