Kyle,

There may not be a place that specifically tune their business to single dads..... but there are plenty of resources out there for them because financial principles are the same whether your a single dad or a married dad. Look into books from people like David Bach or Dave Ramsey which teach its more IMPORTANT To get started investing/saving rather than the amount your investing at first because investing is a HABIT. Before or After find an advisor local to you that you feel you can build a 30+ year relationship with and start building your Future

Good Luck, David Kleinik

Hello Kyle,

I'm not sure that there are channels that focus specifically on financial help for single dads. The good news, however, is that sound financial principles can be applied to any family structure or situation. The fact is that financial advisors typically consider your entire financial picture before providing financial advice, which includes details about your family. This, in turn, allows the advisor to create a customized plan to address your needs and help you achieve your goals. I hope you find this answer to be helpful. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to reach out.

Best, Alex

I would recommend interviewing multiple FA’s much in the same way a FA will interview you. You may find there are many single parent FA's out there who are in a better position to fully understand your needs...something a married FA or software planning programs cannot often compensate for. You don't ask a proctologist to look at your foot just because they are a doctor...same principles apply to financial planning, real estate and law. Find a FA who can relate to you on your level to help ensure the relationship will have mutual interests that go beyond just the obvious.
