A financial education framework for making thoughtful choices about income, saving, and the goals you want your money to support.
Explore the frameworkOur approach
We believe financial wellbeing is about more than money. It is about creating a life with greater freedom, security, and peace. New Art of Living is an educational framework for individuals and families to learn, ask questions, and connect financial choices to the goals that matter to them.
Through education, workshops, and conversations with licensed professionals, people can build financial understanding and consider choices that support their own priorities. The topics below are starting points for learning and discussion.
What we do
New Art of Living workshops and professional conversations cover the financial topics people encounter through different stages of life.
Explore saving habits, time horizons, and ways to make a plan for building financial resources.
Understand income and expenses, organize priorities, and learn approaches to managing debt.
Learn about protecting income and loved ones, including life insurance and other protection options.
Consider how health, healthcare costs, and financial choices can affect one another over time.
Build familiarity with strategies for saving and long-term accumulation, including annuity and investment concepts.
Connect financial decisions with personal goals, retirement income questions, and the future you want to build.
Licensed professionals may discuss life insurance, annuity, retirement-income, and investment or securities services when permitted by their individual licenses and registrations, the relevant firm, and state availability. Any recommendations depend on individual circumstances. Educational information is not individualized financial or investment advice.
Three ideas
The framework starts with broad principles. How someone applies them depends on their own needs, resources, and priorities.
“Multi-handed income” is a prompt to consider the different skills, roles, and sources that may contribute to a household’s income over time.
Decide what to set aside as part of the plan, then shape spending around what remains. A 10% savings example is often used to make the principle concrete; it is not a rule for every situation.
Connect financial choices to priorities rather than treating each decision as separate. Revisit the plan as life and circumstances change.
Three goals
The framework uses three broad goals to help people organize questions and conversations about their financial future.
What would you like your financial habits to make possible?
A useful question to return to as goals and circumstances evolve.
A few clarifications
No. It is an educational framework for discussing income, saving, and financial goals. It does not name or recommend a specific product.
No. It is an example used to explain the save-first idea. A realistic savings approach depends on a person's income, expenses, obligations, and circumstances.
Start by reviewing current income, spending, savings, and priorities. For decisions involving financial, tax, legal, or investment matters, consider speaking with a qualified professional.
