Children who develop saving habits at a young age are more likely to become financially responsible adults. The most effective way to help children save is to combine financial education with real-world saving opportunities. Parents and caregivers can encourage children to set savings goals, divide money between spending and saving, and discuss how investments can grow over time through compound returns. Even small, regular contributions can help children develop habits that last a lifetime.
- [How Can I Put a 529 Plan into Action?](https://www.vicuscapital.com/2026/08/11/how-can-i-put-a-529-plan-into-action/) - Saving for education can feel like a daunting task, especially as tuition costs continue to rise. Fortunately, 529 plans offer families a flexible, tax-advantaged way to prepare for a wide range of educational expenses. While these accounts were originally designed to help pay for college, recent legislative changes have expanded how the funds can be used, making them an even more versatile financial planning tool. Whether you're a parent saving for a child, or a grandparent looking to leave a meaningful legacy, understanding how to put a 529 plan into action can help you maximize its benefits.

Rising inflation, shifting interest-rate policies, geopolitical tensions, and fears of economic slowdown can create heightened volatility across stocks, bonds, and commodities. What’s one of the best approaches to consider for this problem? Diversification.

- [Psychology of Investing - Part 5: Confirmation Bias](https://www.vicuscapital.com/2026/07/23/psychology-of-investing-part-5-confirmation-bias/) - Confirmation bias refers to the habit of seeking out, interpreting, and remembering information that supports existing beliefs while ignoring or dismissing evidence that contradicts them. In investing, this bias can lead individuals to become overly confident in their views and blind to potential risks.
- [Psychology of Investing - Part 4: Overconfidence/Excessive Trading](https://www.vicuscapital.com/2026/07/14/psychology-of-investing-part-4-overconfidence-excessive-trading/) - While fear can push investors to become overly cautious, overconfidence can drive them in the opposite direction toward excessive risk-taking. Many investors believe they can consistently outsmart the market, identify winning opportunities before others, or accurately time short-term market movements. While striving to outperform the market is not inherently wrong, doing so successfully requires careful research, discipline, and patience.
- [Psychology of Investing - Part 3: Fear of Loss](https://www.vicuscapital.com/2026/07/02/psychology-of-investing-part-3-fear-of-loss/) - Fear of loss, sometimes referred to as loss aversion, is a concept developed as part of Prospect Theory by psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky. Their research demonstrated that people feel the pain of losses far more intensely than the satisfaction of equivalent gains. In practical terms, losing $10,000 tends to feel significantly worse than the pleasure derived from gaining the same amount.
- [Psychology of Investing - Part 2: Herd Instinct](https://www.vicuscapital.com/2026/06/24/psychology-of-investing-part-2-herd-instinct/) - Crowd behavior is one of the most powerful psychological forces influencing investor behavior. This tendency, sometimes called herd instinct, refers to the fear of “missing out” where an individual may make investments not because of careful analysis, but simply because a large group of others are doing the same. When markets are rising and optimism dominates headlines, many investors might feel a growing pressure to participate; the opposite holds true when markets decline.
- [Psychology of Investing - Part 1: Recency Bias](https://www.vicuscapital.com/2026/06/15/psychology-of-investing-part-1-recency-bias/) - Recency bias is a common behavioral pitfall that can undermine sound investment decision-making. It refers to the tendency for individuals to place excessive weight on recent events, such as recent winners, while overlooking broader historical trends and long-term probabilities. In investing, this can lead to distorted judgment and impulsive actions that are not aligned with a well-structured strategy.
- [Equity Compensation Overview](https://www.vicuscapital.com/2025/06/13/equity-compensation-overview/) - An increasing number of companies, especially those in certain industries such as tech, offer some form(s) of equity compensation to align employees’ financial interests with company goals. This is most common with publicly traded companies, though some private companies offer stock incentive plans as well. This guide provides you with a high-level overview of the four most common types of equity compensation.
- [Financial Psychology: Money Scripts](https://www.vicuscapital.com/2025/06/13/financial-psychology-money-scripts/) - Money scripts are subconscious beliefs that people hold about their money and their finances. Generally, these start to form at an early age through observing attitudes and behaviors parents or other role models have toward money. They continue to be shaped over time through life experience and lead to money-related behaviors in adulthood that are challenging to change.

- [Retirement: A Modern Spin for the Next Generation](https://www.vicuscapital.com/2025/06/13/retirement-a-modern-spin-for-the-next-generation/) - Student loan debt, stagnant wages, historically high inflation and home prices, the demise of pension plans, and the uncertain future of the Social Security system make many young Americans question if they will ever be able to retire at all. In addition, social and cultural norms are in a constant state of evolution, disrupting many previously successful approaches to financial planning. As a result, customized accumulation planning for retirement may be more important than ever, despite factors that may be outside of our control.
- [Beneficiaries: Per Stirpes versus Per Capita](https://www.vicuscapital.com/2025/06/13/beneficiaries-per-stirpes-versus-per-capita/) - Per Stirpes and Per Capita are legal terms used in the law governing inheritance and estate.

- [Student Loans and Planning Considerations](https://www.vicuscapital.com/2025/06/13/student-loans-and-planning-considerations/) - There are many nuances to student loans that are important to understand, whether a client or child of a client is coming to you with existing loans, or contemplating taking out new loans for further education. Decisions surrounding student loans can impact other areas of a client’s financial plan, such as their progress toward other goals, life insurance coverage needed, and even tax filing status. Here, we delve into characteristics of different types of loans, and some planning considerations.
- [One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA)](https://www.vicuscapital.com/2025/08/28/one-big-beautiful-bill-act-obbba/) - The lead up to and eventual passing of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) has garnered significant attention in the industry. Now that the dust has begun to settle, many advisors are eager to understand the impact this will have on their clients. Below, we outline the high-level details of six key provisions of particular relevance to advisors and their clients. As with any new legislation, it is possible that some of the finer details may be further clarified over time.
- [Health Savings Account (HSA) Facts](https://www.vicuscapital.com/2025/10/15/health-savings-account-hsa-facts/) - Unlike Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs), Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) do not need to be emptied each year and can serve as a long-term investment vehicle. In fact, HSAs offer a very attractive ‘triple’ set of potential tax benefits: 1) federal tax-deductible and FICA-free contributions, 2) tax-free growth, 3) tax-free withdrawals for qualified medical expenses. Below are details on these tax benefits.
- [Education Planning Realities](https://www.vicuscapital.com/2025/10/20/education-planning-realities/) - According to CollegeBoard, the current cost of college compared to that of 30 years ago, after adjusting for inflation, is now 2.02x as high for in-state, public four-year institutions and 1.75x as high for private nonprofit four-year institutions.

It is based on an individual’s Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) with addbacks specified in the Internal Revenue Code. The concept of MAGI may seem straightforward; however, did you know that the IRS has seven separate definitions?
- [Understanding Marketplace Health Insurance](https://www.vicuscapital.com/2025/11/17/understanding-marketplace-health-insurance/) - How can clients obtain health insurance if they plan to retire prior to the Medicare eligible age of 65 or lack job-based coverage? The federal Health Insurance Marketplace (www.healthcare.gov), also called the “Exchange,” is the website where individuals can browse, compare, and purchase health care plans available under the Affordable Care Act. Many states, including Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York, have their own marketplace website.
- [Life Cycle Financial Planning](https://www.vicuscapital.com/2025/12/01/life-cycle-financial-planning/) - Life cycle financial planning refers to the process of identifying and managing the financial needs and challenges that arise at different stages of life. As clients go through the various stages and life changes, their responsibilities, needs, and financial capabilities are likely to shift, so it is important to understand the needs of each phase to best serve clients. Below is a list of the 5 stages of the financial planning lifecycle, with examples of key financial planning needs at each stage.
- [Goal Setting – A Win-Win for Advisors and Clients](https://www.vicuscapital.com/2025/12/15/goal-setting-a-win-win-for-advisors-and-clients/) - According to Savology, people actively working toward clear goals are 10 times more likely to succeed. Your discovery meetings and review meetings can be a great time to talk with clients (both existing and prospective) about their financial goals, both for the current year and beyond. Any new goals can be added to the client’s financial plan, and existing goals can be reviewed and updated. Below are broad examples of some short-, medium- and long-term goals.
- [Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change](https://www.vicuscapital.com/2025/12/29/transtheoretical-model-of-behavior-change/) - As we all know, most people are naturally resistant to change. You can gain insight on potential reasons why clients may be resistant to suggestions, advice, or tasks you ask them to complete by understanding The Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change (TTM), developed by researchers James Prochaska and Carlo DiClemente in 1983. This model can apply to both prospecting - and motivating clients to follow your advice.
- [Preparing for the Unexpected: Disability](https://www.vicuscapital.com/2026/01/12/preparing-for-the-unexpected-disability/) - A wealth builder’s ability to earn income is typically their most valuable asset. Losing an income could very well total a loss of millions of dollars over a client’s lifetime. For example, assuming a 2.5% annual increase in income, a 43-year-old earning $150,000/year and planning to work until age 65 would lose $4,329,424 in lifetime income if they became permanently disabled today.1 This would likely be devastating to their short- and long- term financial stability, as even a substantial emergency fund and/or investment portfolio can be depleted quickly, and at the jeopardization of other goals.

- [Tax Loss Harvesting | Turning Portfolio Pain into Planning Alpha – Pt. 1](https://www.vicuscapital.com/2026/06/01/tax-loss-harvesting-turning-portfolio-pain-into-planning-alpha-pt-1/) - Many investors may find themselves sitting on unrealized losses in positions that have lagged or corrected. This presents an opportunity not only to offset the current year’s capital gains, but also to rebalance portfolios to better align with client goals. Tax-loss harvesting isn’t just a way to benefit from down markets; it’s a proactive strategy that can generate measurable tax alpha* when implemented to a client’s strategy.

However, a delicate balance and careful planning is required to reap the benefits of tax-loss harvesting without causing unintended consequences. There are drawbacks that should be considered before executing TLH strategies or adding TLH to an account.
- [Standard of Living & Living Expenses](https://www.vicuscapital.com/2026/05/18/standard-of-living-living-expenses/) - When using cash flow-based planning software, it is generally best practice to itemize liability payments, property taxes, life insurance premiums, and certain other expenses such as medical, new vehicle, and lump sum purchase expenses. These, plus the client’s Living Expenses, equal what may be referred to as the Total Expenses.
