The New Art of Living

10% / 3 Rules / 3 Goals

How It Works

Three steps. The first one is a free conversation.

Whether we work together long-term or you walk away with just the framework, that’s a win either way.

1

Free Consultation

30 minutes. We talk through your goals, your timeline, and the New Art of Living framework. Zero cost, zero pressure.

2

Personalized Plan

If it makes sense to keep going, we will plan how to proceed to meet your goals. We review it together. You decide what happens next.

3

Move Forward Together

If you choose to move forward, you and I will walk through each step together toward your goals.

The New Art of Living

One number. Three rules. Three goals.

The framework I lead every conversation with. Deliberately simple — the point is for you to leave understanding how your money actually works.

10%

Save 10% of every paycheck

Or start with any amount. The point is to start. Compounding interest does the rest.

3rules

Compounding · Risk · Tax

Compounding interest, risk effect, tax effect. The three forces that decide what your money actually does over time.

3goals

Protect · Replace · Build

Protecting income, replacement income, generational or legacy wealth. The three reasons we save in the first place.

The New Art of Living philosophy is a way of life. 10% / 3 Rules / 3 Goals is the foundation for everything we do — together, these elements address life’s major challenges and empower your goals.

About Fred

I grew up where money was tight, and the strikes came every other year.

Dad’s union hit picket lines on a regular schedule, and we learned early what a paycheck does and does not cover. That experience, and a desire to help others, is what brought me to this work.

The New Art of Living is not a pitch. It is a way of thinking about money. Start with literacy. Taking steps now will make a big difference in the future.

FAQ

What people ask before booking.

Quick answers. Longer ones come in the consultation.

Do I have to live in Georgia to work with you?

I’m licensed in Georgia and based in Rayle, near Athens, GA. Most consultations happen on Zoom, so location rarely matters for the planning conversation. We’ll discuss how to proceed with working together when we plan our next meeting.

What if I just want to learn the framework?

That’s the most common reason people book. Bring your questions, and we’ll walk through the 10% rule, the 3 rules, and the 3 goals — and how they connect to the whole New Art of Living philosophy. You decide how to proceed and where to focus my help.

Is bookkeeping part of this?

I run bookkeeping as a separate business at Bookkeeping with Grits. It’s not part of the financial-planning work here, but if it comes up in conversation we can talk about how we work together.
