If you have all your account info already pulled together in one place, this will take about ten minutes. If you don't, pulling up the current values for the following will help speed up the process:
- Cash accounts: checking, savings, and money market accounts and their current balances. Have a recent statement from each at the ready.
- Investment accounts: balances for your Roth or regular IRA, 401(k), ESA/529, regular brokerage accounts, stock options, etc.
- Value of your major assets: property and vehicles. If you are unsure of the value, check Zillow or Redfin for property values and Kelley Blue Book private party price for car values.
- Your major regular bills: rent/mortgage, vehicle payments, health insurance/prescriptions/copays, childcare or other caregiving costs. Anything else that is large and tends not to change month to month.
- Credit accounts: the balances and monthly payments for other debts you may be carrying. Credit cards, student loans, medical debt, and any other debts that you owe. If you aren't sure you've covered them all, that's ok.
If you are comfortable doing so, please run at least one new credit report in preparation for this session.
You can use annualcreditreport.com to run free credit reports for all three bureaus.
We also really like Credit Karma, which provides free access to your TransUnion and Equifax credit reports
. You can also obtain a free credit report directly from Experian and Equifax (TransUnion's site doesn't allow you to get it directly from them, but it's available through the other resources noted here).
If you are unsure of answering any questions, or wish to provide the relevant information live or via a separate channel, you may leave them blank and leave a note in the final question.
Note: please do not include protected personal information in here (no dates of birth, SSNs, full account numbers, full addresses).

We do not sell financial products or manage investments. Our sessions are private and we will never sell your information.
