I've had the pleasure of working with Garrett for about a year now, and it has truly been an…read moreincredible experience. I approached Garrett in late 2020 after a tumultuous previous 12 months. I had been laid off due to COVID and simultaneously incurred an enormous sum of medical bills on top of my typical monthly expenses. Naturally, I waited until things hit rock bottom before seeking help, but I'm so fortunate to have come across Garrett. He has the innate ability to show empathy but is also a straight shooter because he doesn't sugarcoat things. Rather than emphasizing the mess I was in, he quickly provided a bevy of solutions that we tackled in tandem one by one. It was an emotional rollercoaster, and I often joked that I should be giving Garrett a co-pay since he acted as a therapist throughout the process. Fast forward to the present day, and I've done a complete 180 financially, professionally, personally, and all of this has contributed to a happier life. I honestly couldn't have reached this point without Garrett's kindness, expertise, and can-do attitude. I look forward to continuing my growth with Garrett and recommend him to anyone looking to hone their budgeting and financial planning skills.

Thanks to Garrett's support, instead of constantly trying to put out financial fires, I'm now on…read moretrack to be debt free this year, have an emergency fund, and more consistently align my finances towards my fiancée's and my values and goals. For context, I first found Garrett while searching online for a finance coach, and I resonated with his optimism and supportive tone on his website. I proceeded to have an initial call with him, and just like the tone on his website, Garrett was warm and friendly. He was attentive, curious, and professional, and he showed up with structured programs combined with a willingness to adjust and be flexible for my specific circumstances. He clearly had the training, experience, and skills, and I got the sense he walked the talk, invested a lot in himself, and put in the work to live authentically. I was eager to work with Garrett, but I still had my hesitations. I was on track to go deeper and deeper into debt. Did it really make sense to hire a finance coach and add on another expense in my life? At the end of the day, I had to conclude that I needed additional support. I tried reading books, getting support from friends and family, and making changes on my own, and I wasn't getting the results I needed. It's as if I had tried to heal a broken bone on my own and then realized I really needed to hire a doctor. I had to admit that I couldn't do this with my current approaches, and Garrett had been able to help many others before me. After discussing with my fiancée, Jasjeet, we hired Garrett to support us as a couple. I'm so glad we made that decision. Garrett continued to show up consistently with the aforementioned qualities, and after only 7 sessions, I experienced the following results. - Alignment with Jasjeet on our priorities and financial plan which includes being debt free this year and having an emergency fund - New tools for successfully talking about and getting aligned about finances with Jasjeet - A shift towards feeling more empowered and steady in my relationship with money Of course, Jasjeet and I also needed to put in the work to show up to the sessions and do the work in-between sessions. So much credit for our success goes to my fiancée. As our coach, Garrett helped guide us with a listening ear, honest perspective, tools, and strategies. Thanks again, Garrett, and I'm looking forward to continuing our work together!

I have been stressing out over my 2018 taxes way before 2018 was even over. LOL.. It was my first…read moreyear of electing as an S-Corp. Majority of my income was coming in under my business with no taxes being deducted so I knew I had to pay. I was pretty sure i was going to owe like 10k :( .. I chose OG bc of the great reviews (thanks yelp!) Before going in I was actually nervous and a bit ashamed bc as an adult I have know idea about taxes yet I decided to elect as an S-Corp lol. Then I finally came in & was seen by Eli. Here are some highlights of my experience: Eli is very knowledgable and is able to explain everything easily so that people like me who feel like taxes are a foreign language can understand. I came in assuming I was going to owe so much bc I had no idea what I was doing or how taxes even worked.. but Eli answered all of my questions with patience even though I know I was probably asking the same question over & over lol. Now for 2019 I will not be stressed! Eli also shed some light on things I had no idea about like how putting money in an IRA can really help to save on how much I owe in taxes, and how I need to go ahead & pay estimated taxes twice a year, and other business related matters that as business owner i needed to know & did NOT beforehand. Before your appointment they give you this great "tax planner".. it pretty much lists out everything that you can & should be writing off on your taxes & allows you to put in the totals. This was so helpful.. it really helps you organize everything. I called with a question & was quickly directed to Eli which was nice bc I thought I was going to have to email or wait for a call back, etc.. Jane at the front desk is also very helpful, polite & accommodating. Overall, I highly recommend. Especially if you have no idea what you're doing bc I know I cant be the only one. I left feeling so much better & at ease after it was all over.

Somehow, every year, I think I'll tackle my taxes on my own, but we often find ourselves with a…read morecomplex situation (multiple states of residency/employment, home sale, etc.), and I end up deciding that it's better for me to pay someone else to do it than labor for hours on my own and risk getting it wrong. That said, I'm always a little hesitant to outsource this task since it can be pricey, and a lot of tax services I've used in the past take FOREVER to respond and/or don't instill trust in their responses (lack of detail, generic answers, lack of understanding of non-standard situations, etc.). With this background/experience, I can definitely say that John is hands down the most detail-oriented, thorough and straightforward tax expert I've worked with (and I've probably worked with 3-5 others in the past). He responds quickly and is a great written communicator (I always understand from his emails exactly how to handle something or the directions to follow.) His fees are very reasonable given his expertise and service, and I highly recommend him, especially for people who live in Jersey City (woo hoo!) and work in NYC, as that can raise complexities.

When I came to Brooklyn Plans I was looking for financial advise to help set me on the road to successfully paying off my upcoming grad school loans.

It was one of the best decisions I've ever made and worth every penny. As a millennial I know how easy it is to believe that you will be swimming in debt forever.

I've taken her financial vision boarding, budgeting for beginners and investing for beginners class and have always walked away feeling less alone in the process and better equipped to really own my finances.

Cannot recommend Brooklyn Plans enough!

A couple years ago I realized how LITTLE I knew about money…read more I had the basics (savings, budgeting, etc.) and understood the end game (retirement). But what about all those decisions in the middle? It's hard to talk about, because everyone comes from a unique place: $ saved, debt accrued, etc. For example, my biz school friends went straight into jobs that made money from the get. I dropped out, waited tables, and worked for free. I was ready to make the biggest decisions of my life, but had no help to answer questions like: - If I want to buy a house in 3 years, how much money do I need? - Am I buying a house for the right reasons? - If I'm ready to start a family, when do I start saving? I started working with StashWealth as a financial advisor and it's been amazing. I got: - Personalized, actionable advice. 100% customized plan - Told me exactly how to reallocate my money. Then helped me open and close the right accounts. - Crazy good response rate. Anytime I've had a question, Rob (a co-founders) answered it in a few hours. Caveats: - SW is not right for everyone. IMO, get a baseline edu of personal finance first. - SW is NOT a "budget" option. They have a fee, more than Wealthfront or Betterment. All options are good, it depends on your needs. I've been lucky to work with many successful people. I've learned: No one "figures it all out." There's always another challenge, whether it's financial, career, or personal: mortgages, child care, job loss, cancer. And StashWealth is there to help you navigate these challenges.
