Wealth Mode

Hi, I’m Justin. I am the founder of Wealth Mode Financial Planning. My team and I have a primary focus in helping those with over $100,000 in federal student loans create a plan to minimize loan payments and save taxes – without sacrificing meaningful goals like buying a home, starting a family, or saving for retirement. Our clients with high student loan debt: – Usually 30-35 years old – Graduated in the last 5 years – $250,000 in average household student loans – $200,000 to $250,000 in annual household income – Want to buy a home and start a family within the next few years - Are or plan on being a business or practice owner in the future We'll help you examine all your options – 10-year standard plan, refinancing, the Income-Driven Repayment (IDR) plans like IBR/PAYE/SAVE, and Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF). For married couples both working, you need to look at whether you should file your taxes Married Filing Separately. From there, we can identify how you can save the most money in paying off your loans while still saving enough money toward other goals. We’ll teach you everything you need to know about setting up the right investment portfolio for you, and which accounts you should be using. Then, we'll set you up with an easy-to-follow budget and cash flow system that will make it all happen. Last of all, let’s make sure you’re protected with the proper life insurance, disability insurance, and estate planning documents you need. Many of our student loan clients have a spouse/partner with equity compensation (ISO's, non-qualified stock options, RSU's, ESPP's, etc.), and we've become quite adept at strategic planning for that as well. We place a heavy emphasis on tax planning and prepare our clients' tax returns as well if they would like. Our clients include physicians, dentists, chiropractors, lawyers, and veterinarians - really, any high-student loan debt trade or profession. Our clients live across 25+ U.S. states in all four time zones, and some countries internationally. I love what I do, and how it helps my clients focus on enjoying their lives and careers instead of worrying about debt or money. _ _ Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and best friend AnnAlyse, our 4-year old daughter, and our newborn son (as of spring 2025). We love traveling, attending concerts and musicals, jigsaw puzzling, and anything else we can do with our kids.
