Hourly Financial Planning

Hello! I’m Mike Johnson the owner of Teacher Wealth.

Sometimes, folks don’t think they need ongoing financial planning services. They just want to get help for an hour or two to ask important questions, identify some next steps, and/or get fresh eyes on their financial situation from an outside 3rd party. I aim to please!

If this sounds appealing to you, read on.

$200 per hour

Fees are adjusted downward on a sliding scale for those with family incomes under $100,000.

Please note: All meetings will be over Zoom unless arrangements can be made to meet in the Des Moines, IA area.
