Physical Assets

Obtaining and maintaining the homes we live in and the vehicles we drive are two of the typically most expensive purchases people will make throughout their lifetime. That’s why it’s important to ask for help.

Social Capital

Humans are social creatures – we live in community. Our social networks provide so much value that they are sometimes called “social capital”. A strong social support network can be critical to help you through the stress of tough times; the lack of social support can lead to isolation and loneliness.
